A10GX FPGA Server Adapter
Programmable PCI Express Server Adapter Based on Intel® PSG FPGA Arria 10 GX
The Silicom Dover A10GX FPGA Server Adapter leverages an Intel® Arria® 10GX FPGA to provide the compute performance needed for advanced security functions at wire speed. Protecting the data center or telecom network from malware and hacking attempts requires both deep packet inspection (DPI) and pattern recognition – both of which can take significant cycles from a server CPU, Dover card based on Intel A10 FPGA was designed to accelerate the range of security workloads in Xeon based servers.
With dual 40GbE QSFP+ ports, one model of the server adapter offers accelerated pattern matching capabilities which boost performance for IPSEC, VPN, firewalls and other security applications. The half-height card can fit in a 1U server or can be double stacked in a 2U server for additional 40GbE ports. The adapter supports PCIe 3×16 interfaces for fast data interconnect.
Processing for the card comes from the Intel® Arria® 10GX FPGA a high-performance and power-efficient 20 nm FPGA. Intel Arria 10GX delivers up to 96 full-duplex transceivers with data rates up to 17.4 Gbps chip-to-chip, 12.5 Gbps backplane, and up to 1,150K equivalent logic elements (LEs). The FPGA features a comprehensive set of power-saving technologies for power efficiency.
