Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000

The FPGA Smartnic For Network Acceleration

  • Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card (Intel® FPGA PAC) N3000 has the right memory mixture designed for network functions, with integrated network interface card (NIC) in a small form factor that enables high throughput, low latency, low power/bit for custom networking pipeline.
  • The Intel FPGA PAC N3000 product family include a variant that is designed to be Network Equipment Building System (NEBS)-friendly, for use in NEBS-compliant systems. To help protect systems from FPGA-hosted security exploits, the Intel FPGA PAC N3000 features a Root-of-Trust device that enables more secure loading of authorized workloads and board updates, and enforces policies to help prevent unauthorized access to critical board interfaces and flash memory. End-to-end industry standard and open source tool support allow users to quickly adapt to evolving workloads and industry standards.
  • Intel is accelerating 5G and network functions virtualization (NFV) adoption for ecosystem partners, such as Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs), Virtual Network Function (VNF) vendors, system integrators, and telcos to bring scalable and high-performance solutions to market.
