Product Overview

Solarflare develops network interface software and hardware to transform the way applications use networks, which we call application-intelligent networking. Our products are utilized in many of the most demanding scale-out compute environments in the world.

Solarflare recently introduced a new class of application accelerator – ApplicationOnload Engine™ (AOE) – which moves application processing into the network adapter for remarkably fast, on-the-fly processing of network data.

Solarflare also offers two series of high-performance, low-latency 10GbE server adapters. Onload server adapters provide unmatched performance and scalability. They are also enabled to run OpenOnload® application acceleration middleware for ultra-low latency, high message rate performance, and seamless application compatibility. Performant server adapters combine excellent performance with outstanding value across a wide range of application environments. Solarflare also offers SFP+ optical transceivers tested and certified with our 10GbE server adapters.

ApplicationOnload Engine (AOE)

The new class of application accelerator transforms the way compute-intensive applications use network data to greatly improve performance. The ApplicationOnload Engine™ (AOE) represents a revolutionary new platform that moves application processing into the network adapter for application that rely on real-time, high-performance network data.

10GbE Onload & Onload PTP Server Adapters

Solarflare Onload server adapters deliver the highest performance, lowest latency, and most scalable 10GbE solution in the industry. Onload server adapters are ideal for the most demanding, latency-sensitive applications in environments requiring the highest message rates. They also support OpenOnload® application acceleration middleware, which offers a unique combination of ultra-low latency and high message rate performance, with seamless application compatibility.

Solarflare Onload PTP server adapters combine the lowest latency at highest message rates with the highest precision server clock accuracy – all in a single server slot operating over a single 10GbE network.

10GbE Performant Server Adapters

Solarflare Performant server adapters combine excellent performance with outstanding value to meet a broad range of 10GbE networking needs, such as data center, SMB, cloud computing, HPC, grid, and virtualized environments.

Solarflare Performant adapter hardware and drivers are virtually identical as those found in Solarflare Onload server adapters.

OpenOnload/EnterpriseOnload

OpenOnload application acceleration middleware significantly enhances application performance by improving network I/O latency, bandwidth, and message rates, while reducing CPU utilization all with no need to modify applications or change the network infrastructure. Solarflare also offers EnterpriseOnload™, which bundles support and service level agreements with an Open Source software subscription.

SFP+ Transceivers & DA Cables

Solarflare's SFP+ 10GBASE-SR optical transceivers complete the networking solution by providing the physical interconnection with a Solarflare tested and approved SFP+ module. Solarflare server adapters have also been tested with multiple third-party 10G SFP+ 10GBASE-SR, 10G SFP+ 10GBASE-LR, 1G SFP 1000BASE-SX, and 1G 1000BASE-T transceiver modules, as well as 10GBASE-CR Direct Attach (DA) cables. This streamlines customer's purchasing process enabling a single transaction at the server adapter point of sale from the same source, while simplifying selling and fulfillment activities.
