Two network communication protocols, TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), form the basis for how computers communicate over a network. TCP is used to ensure that information is sent from one computer to another quickly and accurately, whereas UDP is used to provide less delay (latency) when transmitting information between two computers (i.e., provides faster transmission). At Intilop Corporation, TCP and UDP technologies have been developed/combined to create a new generation of networking solutions that leverage hardware acceleration together with a deep understanding of networking technologies in order to provide businesses with highly efficient, low-latency, high-performance connectivity.

Modern data centers need speed, flexibility, and efficiency, and the 10G Smart NIC/Data Center Linux Servers play a critical role in providing those requirements. Our products have been designed specifically to work seamlessly with Linux-based servers to allow the processing of heavy network loads efficiently. The architecture of Smart NICs allows network processing to be handled independently from the CPU, allowing the server to be faster and more productive. As such, data can be transmitted more quickly, application performance can be maximized, and systems can operate without interruption, even when many users are simultaneously accessing shared resources.

In order for organizations to keep pace with their avalanche of data, faster network speeds will be required. The 40G Smart NIC/Date Center Linux servers enable high-speed processing of millions of records while minimizing the cost of operating traditional data center appliances. Intilop Corp. is focused on providing technology that will enable organizations to provide uninterrupted data transfer along with the simplicity and reliability of a conventional data center setup. By utilizing Smart NIC's capabilities, data centers can grow their business and/or expand their infrastructure without compromising on the level of service provided to their customers, ultimately creating a more productive and efficient operation.

The heart of the majority of cutting-edge networking systems is the use of hardware acceleration of TCP & UDP Altera and Xilinx FPGA technologies. The utilization of FPGA-based processing allows the ability to execute networking processes in hardware, therefore eliminating latency and increasing throughput. Intilop uses this technology to produce high-performance, flexible solutions that are tailored to meet a multitude of requirements. Consequently, the end users can achieve superior performance while maintaining the highest levels of control and reliability.

Understanding Smart NICs in Simple Terms

Think of a Smart NIC as an intelligent assistant for your server. A Smart NIC allows the majority of network processing to be completed on the Smart NIC itself rather than the processor in the server. This results in a greater response time, and therefore a faster experience for the end-user. Intilop designs and builds Smart NIC solutions that are easy to implement and can provide seamless operation within existing systems.

In the context of a Linux-based data center, reliable and stable connectivity between Intilop's products and the Linux environment is essential. Thus, the company has developed its products to work seamlessly within Linux data center environments, which makes it easy for IT professionals to set them up and operate them.

Why Hardware Acceleration Matters

Because of the way in which traditional networking products operate, the CPU is responsible for performing the majority of the networking tasks associated with data networking. Historically, under high-volume data traffic, this might result in significant fluctuations and slowdowns in how well a given networking system can operate; with hardware acceleration, however, these tasks are offloaded to purpose-built hardware (such as an FPGA). The use of Altera and Xilinx FPGA technology by Intilop Corporation has enabled the company to create efficient TCP and UDP data traffic handling capabilities.

Through the use of hardware acceleration, Intilop products can offload certain tasks that otherwise would have had to be processed via the CPU. This reduces the overall load on the system and improves response times. Additionally, this enhancement provides a consistent performance level with regard to the handling and processing of real-time data and other types of applications that require highly responsive service levels.

Built for Modern Data Centers

In addition to the use of hardware acceleration, data centers today support multiple types of service offerings simultaneously, including cloud computing, storage, and very fast networking connectivity. Intilop Corporation builds its offerings based upon these specific service requirements and strives to provide superior quality, reliable products that can easily expand and modify to accommodate both increased growth as well as changes in customer service requirements.

Smart NICs and FPGA Accelerators help Data Centers minimize latency and improve their ability to handle large quantities of data, providing more enjoyable user experiences, improved overall operational efficiency, and enhanced system performance.

Simple Design with Powerful Results

One area where Intilop Corporation excels is taking complex technology (Smart NICs and FPGA technology) and providing practical solutions. Although Smart NICs and FPGAs are complex technologies, Intilop Corporation's emphasis is on the ease of use of these products. Smart NICs and FPGAs can be easily integrated into a customer's existing network without requiring substantial changes to their infrastructure.

Through clear documentation, well-thought-out designs, and extensive testing of their products, customers can have a greater degree of confidence in the use of these products. By having a simple solution to implement advanced networking technology, all levels of technical ability in an organization can benefit from this advanced networking technology.

Supporting Growth and Innovation

With increased business activity, the quantity of data processed by networks increases as well. As networks grow to accommodate an increasing number of applications, users, and traffic, Intilop Corporation assists this evolution through its product offerings to provide scalable solutions that can expand to meet future demands. Upgrading from 10G to 40G and adding additional product features can be quick and straightforward as customers expand their networks.

Another area where Intilop Corporation has placed a high level of importance is innovation. By maintaining an understanding of the latest hardware and networking standards, Intilop Corporation continues to provide timely and effective solutions for its customers to remain competitive in an ever-changing digital environment.

Reliable Performance You Can Trust

Data centers require reliable systems for operational integrity; if a data center becomes unavailable or experiences degraded performance, each one of its users may be impacted simultaneously. Intilop Corporation builds and develops technology solutions for data centers with stability and reliability in mind. Through rigorous testing and quality-based engineering, customers receive consistent outcomes from their products.

With our accelerated TCP and UDP Processing hardware, we are able to ensure a reliable and smooth flow of data for our customers. Many businesses that rely on their networks on a daily basis build their trust through the reliability of the services provided by Intilop Corporation.
