The World's Lowest Latency 10/25G Ethernet NIC
The Industry's 1st Standard NIC with Hardware Security
The X2522 dual-port 10/25G Ethernet NIC is a member of the X2 family of XtremeScale products that redefine the price/performance of standard NICs for modern data centers.
Designed from the ground up for virtualized dense server environments, Solarflare XtremeScale X2 adapters are the most cost-effective NICs in the industry for Ethernet connectivity. At the same time, XtremeScale acceleration provides record-breaking low latency and throughput needed for today's modern class of applications. X2 is the most secure standard NIC with integrated hardware firewalls. XtremeScale X2 is the only general-purpose NIC with 2,048 Virtual NICs, programmable packet processing engine for network off-load and real-time packet/flow capture required by your network performance management and analytics platforms.
Summary of Features and Benefits
Acceleration Services Allow Distributed Apps to Scale-Out - The challenge with distributed apps is keeping hardware and system latency low while scaling to thousands of tasks running across thousands of cores. The X2522 harnesses kernel bypass acceleration to deliver superior small packet performance with hardware latency as low as one-half a microsecond. Solarflare kernel bypass technologies include Onloadâ„¢, ScaleOut Onload and DPDK acceleration services and provide servers the headroom needed to handle more processes in the same amount of time and with fewer servers.
Solarflare acceleration technology can also be used to build ultra-low latency NVMe all-flash storage fabrics. X2522 NICs configured for NVMe over standard TCP provide similar performance to NVMe fabrics based on special-purpose RDMA fabrics without the need for dedicated, specialized network infrastructure.
Precision Time Stamping for Accurate Synchronization - The X2522 supports the precision time protocol (PTP) fabric service for apps that require synchronized time stamping of packets down to single-digit nanosecond resolution.
Protect Traffic Inside the Data Center by Deploying the Industry's 1st Standard NICs with HW Security On-Board - ServerLockâ„¢ technology inside every X2522 NIC complements firewall perimeter security. It is now possible to scale security inside your data center by using microsegmentation to scale packet surveillance, filtering, cloaking and firewalling with every server.
Real-Time Telemetry Feeds Security & Analytics - The X2522 provides real-time monitoring, inspection, and capture of packets needed for network performance management, security analytics, and compliance. Packet data can be forwarded to a libpcap API or saved to a file with hardware timestamps.
A Platform for Micro-Segmented NIC Fabric Services - For modern data centers, X2522 lays a new foundation for NIC-based network virtualization needed for their highly distributed applications with thousands of inter-connected web server, machine learning, and big data workloads. X2522 is the first and only standard NIC platform that can establish ultra-scale connectivity to thousands of virtual NICs, while at the same time providing real-time packet and flow information. The combination of ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, ultra-scale connectivity and packet telemetry, allows X2522 NICs to serve as the industry's first commercial platform for micro-segmented NIC fabric services that scale with each server, VM or container.
