Cloud and Edge Computing Infrastructure Provider

Packet SVG

Application:

Edge Cloud Microserver for Cloud-Native and Edge Workloads

Hardware:

Standard 1U form factor solution with 4 microservers and integrated Netronome SmartNIC

Open19-based solution with 4 microservers and integrated Netronome SmartNIC

Ultra-compact and low-power design (<100W per microserver), up to 120 microservers can fit in a single 42U rack

Benefits:

  • Disaggregated, processing architecture enables scalability of 4 to 8 microservers per 1U
  • Dedicated Netronome SmartNIC per microserver offloads all network processing from the CPU
  • Developers gain access to all network acceleration capabilities through the use of eBPF offload
  • 22% increase in Load Balancer performance while saving 10 CPU cores via hardware offload
Each of Packet’s new Edge cloud microservers with integrated Netronome SmartNIC technology delivers up to 25Gb/s throughput while enabling highly scalable security policies and control close to the cloud-native applications. As a result, Packet is able to deploy less complex, lower power and more cost-effective top-of-rack switch solutions. At the same time, developers are empowered with access to deep network acceleration capabilities through the use of eBPF programming for innovating in the areas of switching, security, telemetry and load balancing.
