OVERVIEW
Xilinx’s XtremeScale™ X2541 single-port 10/25/40/50/100G Ethernet network adapters are designed for high-performance electronic trading environments
and cloud and enterprise data centers; including artificial intelligence
big data
analytics
machine learning
storage
and telco applications.

NETWORKING
Record-breaking low latency and high throughput network adapters provide real-time packet and flow information to thousands of virtual NICs. This combination of ultra-high bandwidth
ultra-low latency
ultra-scale connectivity
and packet telemetry allows X2 series adapters to scale with each server
virtual machine or container.

ACCELERATION
For electronic trading environments
Onload® kernel bypass application acceleration and DPDK services deliver superior small packet performance with sub-microsecond hardware latency.

Onload dramatically accelerates and scales network-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases
software load balancers
and web servers. With Onload
data centers can support 4X or more users on their cloud network while delivering improved reliability
enhanced quality of service (QoS)
and a higher return on investment
without modification to existing applications.

In addition
X2541 adapters support the precision time protocol (PTP) fabric service for apps that require synchronized time stamping of packets down to single-digit nanosecond resolution.

TELEMETRY
SolarCapture® Pro packet capture software enables X2541 adapters to capture and time stamp packets in hardware
persist packet to disk
and replay packets streams. This feature provides the essential ingredient for corporate data centers to run applications such as high-precision network performance monitoring
analysis
and regulatory compliance.

WORKLOADS
The X2541 adapters are ideal for scale-out cloud
web
and CDN application environments. Use cases include softwaredefined networking (SDN)
network functions virtualization (NFV)
web content optimization
DNS acceleration
web firewalls
load balancing
NoSQL databases
caching tiers (Memcached)
web proxies
video streaming
and storage networks.

X2541 adapters speed up TCP
unicast
multicast and UDP traffic for a wide variety of trading applications. From missioncritical exchange gateways and matching engines on the financial exchange side
to feed handlers
order routing
algorithmic trading engines
messaging applications
order execution
data distribution and client communications on the trading side
XtremeScale network adapters are considered the de facto standard in electronic trading environments.
