Product Description
For cloud and enterprise architects building modern data centers, the Alveo U25N provides a comprehensive 25GbE SmartNIC platform that brings true convergence of network and security acceleration functions like OVS and IPsec into a single platform.
The U25N SmartNIC platform is based on the fusion of three technologies, a powerful System on a Chip (SoC) that includes an FPGA and multi-core Arm processor, and a proven XtremeScale™ X2 Ethernet Controller. The FPGA enables in-line hardware acceleration and offload with maximum efficiency while avoiding unnecessary data movements.
The Arm cores handle exception traffic processing, and FPGA-related management and statistics. The X2 Ethernet Controller chip provides a platform for processing two ports of 25 Gigabit Ethernet via field-proven software drivers
Key Features & Benefits | Powerful SmartNIC
The U25N delivers ultra-high throughput, small packet performance, and low latency. The host interface supports standard NIC drivers as well as Onload® kernel bypass to provide both TCP and packet-based APIs for network application acceleration. The U25N is also tamper-resistant and provides secure flow monitoring with enforcement via a stateless firewall.
Programmable Platform
The U25N SmartNIC contains a programmable FPGA processing all the network flows. Each flow can be individually delivered to the host and/or streamed in hardware through bump-in-the-wire network acceleration functions. The platform also enables the ability for customers to accelerate custom workloads.
Hardware Accelerated for Clouds
Cloud service providers are deploying SmartNIC fabrics to achieve virtual switching and micro-segmentation of services that scale linearly with CPU cores and network links. The U25N is a platform for the industry’s first converged SmartNIC fabric, including shrink-wrapped applications.
