SmartNICs And The Need For Evolving Network Infrastructure
SearchNetworking, Wednesday, July 12,2023
SmartNICs can meet the increasing demand for high performance, low latency and secure data transfer. But the implementation of smartNICs requires reliable network infrastructure.
A smartNIC is an intelligent network interface card that offloads the server CPU in terms of networking tasks, offers memory expansion and performs security operations. The smart multifunctional hardware onloads these critical tasks to provide extra computational power to the server at multiple networking layers.
As organizational workloads increase day by day, smartNIC infrastructure is accelerating server performance to reduce busy cycles and latency. Rather than using resources from the server in a traditional infrastructure, this programmable microserver on a chip can perform necessary functions at high speeds itself.
