Cloud and Data Center

Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) promise big gains in efficiency for data center operations

  • The increasing demand for compute capacity, security constraints, and high bandwidth in cloud and enterprise data centers is driving the need for specialized silicon for AI, such as IPUs. These units help data centers deploy more compute resources effectively.
  • IPUs represent a new level of intelligent infrastructure acceleration, providing important security isolation features. They offload both the control plane and the data plane to a processor complex on the IPU, freeing up the host CPU for running applications and introducing a security layer into the system.
  • Napatech’s partnership with Intel has led to the development of a turnkey production-grade productized IPU, the F270X, a 200 Gbps card that includes two ports configurable for 10, 25, and 100 gigabit Ethernet. It is based on an Intel Xeon D SoC and Intel Agilex 7 FPGA.

Growing demand for virtualization requires network insight

From document collaboration and automated backup to sales force automation, cloud-based services are rapidly becoming critical to the success of businesses seeking high-performance solutions that allow for scalability and flexibility. As a result, cloud data is growing rapidly and getting more complex. Maintaining performance and security while continuing to enhance services will be essential to the long-term viability of cloud and data center businesses.
