Networking
AMD Solarflare network adapters’ low latency and high throughput provide real-time packet and flow information to thousands of virtual NICs. This combination of ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, ultra-scale connectivity, and packet telemetry allows X2 series adapters to scale with each server, virtual machine, or container.
Workloads
The AMD Solarflare X2522 adapters are ideal for scale-out cloud, web, and CDN application environments. Solarflare adapters are used in a wide range of use cases, including software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), web content optimization, DNS acceleration, web firewalls, load balancing, NoSQL databases, caching tiers (Memcached), web proxies, video streaming, and storage networks. Solarflare X2522 adapters are designed to speed up TCP, unicast, multicast, and UDP traffic for various trading applications. From mission-critical exchange gateways and matching engines on the financial exchange side, to feed handlers, order routing, algorithmic trading engines, messaging applications, order execution, data distribution, and client communications on the trading side, AMD Solarflare ethernet adapters are the de facto standard in electronic trading environments.
Acceleration
For electronic trading environments, AMD Solarflare Onload™ kernel bypass application acceleration and DPDK services offer superior small packet performance with sub-microsecond hardware latency. In addition, Solarflare X2522 adapters support the precision time protocol (PTP) fabric service for apps that require synchronized time stamping of packets down to single-digit nanosecond resolution.
