To ensure apps run quickly and videos stream smoothly in a secure environment, OEMs face the dual challenge of accelerating performance at speeds up to 100 Gbps, while also ensuring accelerated time-to-market. Napatech provides solutions that are designed to achieve maximum performance using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

Ensuring deep insight in high-performance networks: Managing how and where data is delivered within the server is extremely important for optimal appliance performance as connectivity speeds increase.
- Napatech ensures that system resources, in particular cache memory and the QPI interface, are being used optimally to guarantee data delivery and maximum performance.
Expediting time-to-market: Napatech's high-performance accelerators provide low-risk solutions with fast time-to-market:
- Products range from 1 to 100 Gbps and enable the full visibility of all network traffic through capacity, intelligence, precision and control.
- By using Napatech accelerators in COTS servers, network equipment manufacturers can quickly build appliances that provide intelligent analysis, regardless of the environment.

Peter Ekner, CTO, Napatech, said:
"Producers of network management and security applications will need to address numerous analysis challenges in order stay ahead of the data growth curve as they enter the 100 Gbps era. Only by understanding the detailed architecture of COTS servers and utilizing them optimally can network equipment manufacture unleash maximum performance."
