Camarillo, Calif. — March 29, 2012 – Nallatech, a leading supplier of high-performance FPGA solutions, announces the availability of the PCIe-385N. This FPGA network processing card delivers Altera Stratix V Series performance with PCI Express 8-lane Gen3 bandwidth in a ‘low profile’ half-height, half-length PCIe card.
The Nallatech PCIe-385N features a simple yet powerful architecture ideally suited for real-time network processing and algorithm-acceleration applications, including network monitoring, analytics, filtering, and data retention.
“The use of FPGA technology to accelerate network processing applications is a high growth area,” said Allan Cantle, president and founder of Nallatech. “The PCIe-385N was designed from the ground up to be a high-performance, cost-effective, network processing platform capable of offloading processor-intensive tasks.”
Technical Information
- Support for several FPGAs within Altera’s latest Stratix V family.
- A PCIe Gen3 8-lane bus provides high bandwidth communications to the host processor.
- The FPGA is directly coupled to two SFP+ ports supporting 1GbE, 10GbE, 10G SONET and various OTU standards up to 2f.
- The PCIe-385N features 2 banks of DDR3 SDRAM providing up to 16GBytes directly coupled to the Stratix V FPGA.
- The compact form factor is the same size as a standard network card, allowing for easy integration into leading server platforms.
