Solarflare XtremeScale X2522 - Network adapter - PCIe 3.1 x8 - 25 Gigabit SFP28 x 2

A platform for a micro-segmented NIC fabric. Cloud service providers are deploying Smart NIC fabrics to achieve microsegmentation of their network services that scale linearly. The X2522 from Solarflare is a platform for the NIC Fabric, including shrink-wrapped applications for microsegmented acceleration, telemetry, and security. A powerful 10/25GbE NIC. With two 10/25Gbps ports, the X2522 delivers ultra-high throughput, line rate small packet performance and latency as low as 500ns. The base NIC includes ScaleOut Onload kernel bypass, combined with DPDK, to provide both TCP and packet-based APIs for application acceleration. The X2522 also supports optional precision timing protocol (PTP) software for apps that require synchronized time stamping of packets with single-digit nanosecond accuracy. A programmable NIC that performs packet inspection and classification. Inside the ASIC of every X2522 NIC is an XtremePacket Engine which provides this general-purpose NIC the unique ability to inspect every packet at line-speed. Network engineers can then use Solarflare APIs to control the visibility, security and performance of network traffic.
