Description

Hardware accelerator card leveraging Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) to offload symmetric/asymmetric cryptography and compression from the CPU. Boosts performance for VPNs, TLS termination, storage compression, and NFV workloads with mature software stacks and APIs.

Features

- Frees CPU cycles by offloading crypto and compression
- Consistent, low-latency secure processing for modern microservices
- Rich software ecosystem with OpenSSL, DPDK, and QATzip
- Scales across cores and tenants via hardware queue pairs
- Ideal for NFV, CDN, SD-WAN, and secure cloud edge deployments

FAQs

Q: What workloads benefit most from QAT offload?
A: TLS termination, IPsec VPN gateways, service meshes, web proxies, and storage/backup compression pipelines typically see significant CPU savings.

Q: Is there an OpenSSL integration?
A: Yes, QAT provides an OpenSSL engine to transparently offload supported crypto operations.

Q: Does it require specific NICs?
A: No, it operates independently via PCIe and can be used with any compatible NICs.

Q: Is virtualization supported?
A: Yes, multiple queue pairs allow partitioning for VMs/containers in virtualized environments.

Q: How do I enable compression offload?
A: Use QATzip or other supported middleware libraries integrated with the QAT drivers.
