The Cubro Intelligent NIC
Implement a high-performance Network Packet Broker or Probe in your own server with Cubro’s Intelligent NIC
The implementation of high layer software on X86 server is becoming more and more complex. The performance of the network service sub system is a key factor in simplifying application development and deployment.
The Cubro Intelligent Network Interface Card (NIC) helps application software to offload network related processing from the server CPU to a dedicated SoC. This offload enables the application system to be accelerated without too much modification on existing software.
The sub-processor on the I-NIC runs its own operating system (Linux). All it needs in order to run is the power supply. The boot software is also stored on the card.
In fact, the Host server is needed only for management and Data transfer.
Network Packet Broker on a NIC
A Network Packet Broker essentially acts like a traffic cop: According to rules set by the user, it blocks and/or redirects network traffic to network locations set by the user. It can aggregate traffic from a large number of sources, and send it to monitoring software, probes, or any other custom location on the network (any to many / many to any).
It can also perform filtering tasks (up to layer 7), load balancing, hash modifications and more. It allows you to simplify network and application monitoring, speed up server processing, and lower development time.
Network Probe on a NIC
The Intelligent NIC Supports many network interfaces: RP/PI | GPRS Gb | IU PS | GN | S6a | S 11 | S1-MME | S1-U | S5/8 | GI | Radius | HTTP | TCP/IP DPI
The I-NIC can handle and interrogate up to 20Gbps of traffic from taps.
