OVERVIEW
HIGHLIGHTS KEY APPLICATIONS Hyperscalers, cloud service providers, telecom operators, and enterprises with on-premise data centers are continually seeking to maximize network performance and utilization of existing infrastructure. In virtualized data centers, precious CPU cycles are often consumed on infrastructure management tasks instead of running application and client services. The compute burden becomes even more complex as infrastructure requirements change.
The Alveo U45N network accelerator provides hardware-adaptable acceleration at 2x100G line rate performance for custom datapaths-and networking functions in the data center. By leveraging the Vivado FPGA development flow, rich IP catalog, and "OpenNIC" open source reference design, developers can customize the platform for proprietary protocols, security policies, and new offloads to scale their infrastructure.
