QSFP-DD, the new ‘kid’ on the block
As a continuation to his previous blog - “Flexible Pluggable Front Port Technology”, in the current blog Claus Ek focuses on the latest addition to the QSFPx form factor family - the QSFP-DD.
Why do you need 100G network traffic replay?
In his latest blog, Sven talks about the network traffic replay at 100G and its benefits in a test scenario.
In the Age of FPGA
FPGA has shown that it can provide significant acceleration and a high level of reconfigurability and doing all that with an efficient compute power per watt.
So where does all this lead and who is the winner?
Is it time to reimagine the NFV infrastructure?
In the run-up to SDN World Congress in The Hague, it is interesting to note that it was at this very show in Dusseldorf 5 years ago that the original NFV whitepaper was first presented. How time flies!
Flexible Pluggable Front Port Technology
I am writing this blog article in continuation of my previous blog – “Future-proof FPGA platforms the longevity and upgradability”. In this blog entry, I discuss the available pluggable front port technology, complementing the flexible properties of the described future-proof FPGA-based SmartNICs.
Key Take-aways from Two Great Open Source Events
During the first week of May I attended the RedHat Summit in Boston for the first time. This year over 6000 people from the open source community around the world got together for 3 days to learn about the latest innovations, ideas and initiatives under the RedHat umbrella.
Effective NFV MANO Calls for Automated NFVI
In the world of fin tech, data capture has never exactly been the sexiest area of development.
But as market participants ready themselves for a new wave of trading rules, and as competition among cutting edge trading firms has shown no sign of abating, the importance of data capture has taken on much greater significance.
Acceleration in HW is Boosting Performance. In DPDK 17.02 rte_Flow is the Enabler.
Acceleration via NICs in DPDK has so far been via proprietary APIs and only on limited number of NICs. DPDK 17.02 rte_flow will change that.
FloCon 2017
Last week I attended the FloCon 2017 conference in San Diego. It was attended by more than 200 people from different companies and organizations from around the world.
