Intel® QAT: Performance, Scale, and Efficiency
Accelerate data encryption and compression for applications from networking to enterprise, cloud to storage, and content delivery to database with Intel® QuickAssist Technology.
See How Intel Atom® Processors and Intel® QAT Power Networking and Storage
As a key feature of the Intel Atom® C5000, P5300, and P5700 processors, Intel® QAT makes acceleration scalable to meet the versatile performance needs of today’s network appliances and network security applications.
Compress and Encrypt Data in Any State
The exponential growth of data demands more efficient ways to handle data in process, in motion, or at rest. Intel® QAT saves cycles, time, space, and cost by offloading compute-intensive workloads to free up capacity.
