About the Solarflare XtremeScale 8042

For IT architects building highly efficient software defined data centers, the XtremeScale 8042 is a full-featured enterprise-class NIC supporting a long list of advanced network protocols and operating platforms. The 8042 is also a platform for data center-wide NIC Fabrics delivering advanced acceleration, telemetry and security services which scale with each server, VM or container. For data center traffic engineers, the fabric services running on XtremeScale adapters are software defined through specific firmware products.

Features and Benefits

For PCIe 3.1 x8 Slots-The XtremeScale 8042 is available for servers with PCIe 3.1 x8 slots. The XtremeScale 8042 is designed specifically for situations where you need 40GbE performance but you have only PCIe 3.1 x8 slots available.

A Powerful 40GbE NIC-With two 40Gbps ports, the XtremeScale 8042 provides ultra high throughput. In addition, the ScaleOut Onload application is included and uses kernel bypass technology for latency as low as 2 µs.

A Smart NIC-Inside the ASIC of every XtremeScale 8042 Ethernet NIC is an XtremePacket™ Engine which allows this general purpose NIC to inspect every packet at line-speed.

A Platform for a Smart NIC Fabric-Hyperscale cloud service providers are micro segmenting their network services by deploying them in proprietary Smart NIC fabrics which scale with each server. Solarflare's 8000 Series support the industry's first Smart NIC fabric for the enterprise, including shrink-wrapped applications for micro segmented acceleration, packet monitoring and security.For IT architects building highly efficient software defined data centers, the XtremeScale 8042 is a full-featured enterprise-class NIC supporting a long list of advanced network protocols and operating platforms.
