SmartNICs for Reconfigurable Computing

NT200B01
2-PORT 2x100G PCIe GEN3

 

THE NAPATECH NFV SmartNIC

Consolidate your network functions virtualization (NFV) performance with high-end technology designed specifically for NFV. The Napatech NFV SmartNIC is a common hardware platform that supports multiple SmartNIC solutions for virtualized environments. Based on a Xilinx UltraSCALE FPGA, the NFV SmartNIC is production-ready and can be reconfigured on-the-fly to support specific SmartNIC functionality.

Supporting from 1G to 100G data rates, the NFV SmartNIC is a versatile and flexible platform that can be used in multiple network locations. The programmability and reconfigurability of FPGAs can be exploited to extend the lifetime of the NFV SmartNIC and server hardware by allowing capacity, features and capabilities to be extended in line with data growth and new industry standards and demands.

Specific SmartNIC solutions are delivered as FPGA images that can be downloaded to the NFV SmartNIC to support the given application.

 

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

• Supports multiple solutions on-the-fly The re-configurable FPGA technology allows multiple SmartNIC solutions to be deployed on-the-fly.
• Supports multiple rates at various locations Designed to support multiple data rates including 8x10Gbps, 4x10Gbps, 8x25 Gbps, 2x40 Gbps, 2x50 Gbps and 2x100 Gbps.
• Extends hardware lifetime and improves TCO Can be upgraded on-the-fly with increased capacity, functionality and capabilities. This extends the lifetime of your infrastructure, reducing capital expenditure needs and operational costs.
• Enables centralized automation and management Facilitates centralized automation and management as it supports multiple virtual services, applications and functions using the same hardware platform.

 

NAPATECH-SmartNIC SOLUTIONS

Napatech SmartNIC solutions are designed specifically for virtual environments. Examples include:

• Open Virtual Switch (OVS) SmartNIC Solution Napatech OVS SmartNIC Solution enables full throughput data delivery to virtual functions with zero packet loss at high-speed, using only a single CPU core and without the need to bypass or fully offload the virtual switch to the NIC.
• Hardware SmartNIC Solutions Napatech Hardware SmartNIC Solutions provide common data processing services, such as encryption and compression, that can operate at high data line rates using only a single CPU core.
