Napatech?? announced the availability of the industry's first production-grade 200 Gbps IPU based upon the Intel®? IPU Platform F2000X-PL.

Napatech's F2070X??. IPU is engineered for cloud, enterprise, and telecom data centers that are optimized for hybrid multi-cloud and edge-computing architectures, supporting applications that may be virtualized (virtual machines), cloud-native (containers), bare-metal and microservices-based. IPU meet the most demanding challenges of modern data center designs without compromise, including: Performance: hardware-based, line-rate forwarding with sophisticated packet processing.

Efficiency: offloading of infrastructure processes, reclaiming valuable host CPU resources for applications and services. Customization: software and hardware programmable, delivering hardware performance at the speed of software innovation. Security: Hard isolation between tenant applications and services, and operator infrastructure processes.

Sustainability: tenant and service scalability per server, reducing cost, power, and cooling per rack. Ease of Use: The Intel®? Xeon®?

D processor simplifies moving the networking and storage stacks from the host to the IPU. Napatech's. F2070X IPU expands upon the Intel®? IPGA Platform F2000X-PL, which is the architecture selected by early adopters in hyperscale cloud, telecom cloud, and next wave cloud networks.

The Napatech F2070X IPU is a turnkey, production-grade, warranted, and supported product based on this leadership Intel reference platform. The F2070X IPU hardware is packed with the latest Intel technology, including an Intel Xeon D SoC and Intel Agilex®? 7 FPGA.

The 200 Gbps card includes two ports configurable for 10, 25, and 100 gigabit Ethernet. Multiple versions are available in various SoC, FPGA, and memory configurations, and are supported in standard, high-volume servers from leading manufacturers. The F2070XIPU is powered by Napatech's software and high-velocity roadmap that deliver NIC functionality, while offloading and accelerating networking (OVS), Storage (NVMe/TCP), Security (TLS), and other workloads.
