LOD, Israel, April 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethernity Networks
(AIM: ENET.L), a leading supplier of data processing offload
solutions on programmable hardware for accelerating telco/cloud
networks, has been named as a Vendor to Watch in a February 2020 Gartner research report titled
Market Trends: Function Accelerator Cards Disrupting Traditional
Ethernet Adapter Market.*
The report provides the definition of function accelerator cards
(FACs), "FACs are a class of network interface hardware that help
improve and accelerate server availability, bandwidth performance
and data transport efficiency in a network. besides enabling
connectivity to a network. While all FACs are essentially NICs, not
all NICs are FACs."
According to the report, "by 2023, we estimate that one in three
NICs (network interface cards) shipped will be a FAC," and further
adds that "as 5G adoption also starts to grow, FACs will also be
handy at the edge for offloading NFV functions. Product leaders at
semiconductor providers must, therefore, optimize their NIC
hardware for capabilities to support such use cases and redraw
their product roadmaps for traditional NICs to include FAC
functionalities."
The report also provides context for the market trends that
these cards address and recognizes five Vendors to Watch, including
Ethernity Networks.
Ethernity's ACE-NIC100 provides flexible IO capabilities with
hardware acceleration to optimize virtual infrastructure for
performance, scalability, power, and cost, while offloading VNF,
security, and overlay networks to reduce OPEX and CAPEX, through
agile virtualized DPDK APIs to allow seamless connectivity with
VNFs.
"We are pleased to have been recognized as a Vendor to Watch in
the Gartner Market Trends report," said David Levi, CEO of Ethernity Networks. "FACs are
an important element of 5G deployment, and we are happy with the
progress we have made in securing business for initial 5G rollouts
with our Router-on-NIC optimized for UPF offload. We believe this
recognition further validates Ethernity as a company that is poised
for a major breakthrough in the coming year."
