Next generation network accelerator card for enterprise and cloud datacenters
The AXP3420 card plugs into a standard PCIe slot to accelerate network functions such as application recognition and security and improves networking performance for x86 servers and networking equipment.
The AXP3420 offloads networking functions from the host processor to improve performance and lower power consumption, providing “intelligence” that is important as the growth in network traffic driven by social networking, mobile broadband and enterprise applications is straining the ability of datacenter networking equipment to keep up.
The AXP3420 card features an Axxia processor with specialized hardware accelerators that improve performance for deep packet inspection, traffic management and other critical networking functions. Customers can customize the accelerator card, which will ship with a broad set of application development kits, to meet their needs for network control, monitoring, application recognition, security and virtual private networks. The Axxia development kit also will allow manufacturers to customize the accelerator card for specific applications.
“As the amount of traffic flowing through the world’s networks continues to grow, so does the need for scalable and flexible offload solutions,” said Abhi Dugar, research manager, IDC. “The Axxia network accelerator offers an easy performance boost and a platform for OEMs to embed intelligence in their networks to efficiently deliver next-generation services.”
The AXP3420 accelerator card is expected to be available to OEMs in the third quarter of 2012.
