Now, with cloud-enabled, on-demand usage models, both cloud providers and traditional data centers face the added requirements of agility and rapid time to market. Software-based solutions can provide agility; but only Netronome SmartNICs provide the network agility and rapid time to market that data centers need for server based networking, while also enabling more secure VMs per server and conserving CPU cycles. Cloud data centers need to service tens of thousands of tenants and manage applications spread across millions of VMs deployed in hundreds of thousands of servers. To enable the smooth transition of enterprise applications to the cloud, service providers are offering customers the ability to bring their own networks and associated security policies. A growing set of VMs and applications, accounting for more than 75% of traffic within the data center, require firewall rules to be directly associated with VMs. This is causing an explosion of the number of virtual networks, security policies and keys that need to be provisioned and managed on a dynamic basis. In the recent years, server based networking and intelligent end points have evolved rapidly to enable scale and preserve costs. Typical inline network functions include tunnel encapsulation, load balancing and metering, as well as exact match, wild card match and action-based stateless and stateful flow processing. Inline cryptography is now critical for secure in-transit data access. The need to apply granular policies closer to VMs and applications has resulted in implementing such inline network functions using the virtual switch data path. However, with 10, 40 and 100GbE connectivity in servers, the number of CPU cores and power needed for such inline functions becomes prohibitive. To add to the problem, cache misses can cause undesired server performance hits and jitters. Agilio CX SmartNICs are purpose-built to solve such perfor- mance and scaling challenges. By efficiently offloading virtual switching, Agilio CX SmartNICs improve performance and lower CAPEX by freeing up valuable server CPU cores, enabling significantly more secure virtual machines per server. Agilio CX SmartNICs also reduce OPEX by enabling host-based SDN and NFV at higher scale and performance.Key FeaturesUp to 2M flows on cardUp to 500k tunnelsP4 and C-programmable for fast feature rolloutsVrtual Switch Data Plane OffloadVXLAN, NVGRE, MPLS tunnel encapsulation and de-encapsulationProgrammable support for custom tunnel typesFlexible exact match-action and wildcard policy offloadsIn hardware Flow Cache for cut-through accelerationStateless and stateful load balancingPer-flow metering and QoSNetwork Acceleration and OffloadsTCP/UDP/IP stateless offloadReceive-side scaling (RSS)Single-Root IOV (SR-IOV)Multiple queues per virtual machineDPDK, zero-copy, kernel bypass, packet directAcceleration of Compute-intensive FunctionsDeep packet inspection (DPI)Atomic operationsPer-flow real-time statisticsManufacturer Warranty1 Year Product Brief Agilio OVS Software Product Brief Agilio OVS Firewall Software Product Brief Agilio OVS Software Architecture White Paper Qualified Optics and Cable Matrix
