Solarflare XtremeScale X2522

        OVERVIEW Solarflare’s XtremeScale™ X2522 dual-port 10/25G Ethernet network adapters are designed for high-performance electronic trading environments and enterprise data centers; including artificial intelligence, big data, analytics, hyperscale, machine learning, storage, and telco applications. NETWORKING Solarflare’s record-breaking low latency and high throughput network adapters 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. ACCELERATION For cloud data centers, Solarflare’s Onload® application acceleration software dramatically accelerates and scales network-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, software load balancers, and web servers. With Onload, data centers can support 4X or more users on their cloud network while delivering improved reliability, enhanced quality of service (QoS), and a higher return on investment, without modification to existing applications. For electronic trading environments, Onload kernel bypass application acceleration and DPDK services deliver superior small packet performance with sub-microsecond hardware latency. In addition, 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. STORAGE Solarflare provides an efficient link between fast NVMe storage and the network. X2 series adapters configured for NVMe™/TCP with Onload provide similar performance as NVMe fabrics based on special-purpose RDMA, further reducing host processing overhead and accelerating web and cloud traffic. TELEMETRY Solarflare’s SolarCapture® Pro packet capture software enables X2522 adapters to capture and time stamp packets in hardware, persist packet to disk, and replay packets streams. This feature provides the essential ingredient for corporate data centers to run applications such as high-precision network performance monitoring, analysis, and regulatory compliance. WORKLOADS The 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’s X2522 adapters speed up TCP, unicast, multicast and UDP traffic for a wide variety of 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, Solarflare’s XtremeScale network adapters are considered the de facto standard in electronic trading environments.
