Netronome has unveiled 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) to accelerate data-plane tasks of software-defined networks.
Dubbed FlowNICs, the cards use Netronome's flagship NFP-6xxx network processor (NPU) and support open-source data centre technologies such as the OpenFlow protocol, the Open vSwitch virtual switch, and the OpenStack cloud computing platform.
