What does Netronome do?
Netronome is a leading supplier of highly programmable semiconductor products that are used for intelligent flow processing in network and communications devices. Netronome’s solutions include tightly integrated network flow processors and acceleration cards that scale to more than 20 Gbps. They are used in carrier-grade and enterprise-class communications products, as well as virtualized servers and appliances that require deep packet inspection, flow analysis and content processing, all at very high speeds for millions of simultaneous flows.
How are they different?
Because Netronome’s NFP product line provides scalable network performance up to 40 Gbps along with sophisticated packet and flow classification, in a highly programmable design environment, it provides users with a path to higher performance and software scalability, helping users develop products for next generation networks more cost-effectively and efficiently. In addition, the NFP-32xx is the industry’s first processor designed for unified computing architectures by combining high-performance network, content and security processing with I/O virtualization. As a next generation solution derived from and compatible with the Intel IXP28XX line of network processors, thousands of existing product designs, tens-of-thousands of skilled engineers, and hundreds-millions of lines of code now have an evolutionary path to higher performance and greater intelligent designs.
Why could Netronome be BIG?
Network traffic in both enterprise and carrier networks continues to rise, driving the bandwidth requirements and line rates to 10 Gbps today, and expecting to grow to 40 Gbps and beyond in a few years. With the need for application awareness, content inspection, and security processing, the amount of processing power within the network infrastructure at these ever-increasing line rates is growing exponentially.
Netronome technology features a unique heterogeneous architecture which meets these increasing network demands and does so at a lower cost than other solutions available in the market today.
