Case study: Hyperscale data center steps up security
To achieve complete traffic visibility at 100G line rates, a global hyperscale data center partnered with ntop and Napatech to build an affordable security monitoring solution. Napatech's advanced onboard software was essential to overcoming the processing challenges of software-defined networks with trillions of endpoints. This specialized software optimized data delivery and streamlined traffic management directly on the FPGA-driven SmartNIC, ensuring zero packet loss under extreme bandwidth conditions. By offloading resource-intensive packet analysis from host CPUs, the software-driven acceleration allowed the ntop applications to run efficiently. Ultimately, Napatech software delivered the high-speed visibility needed to detect threats reliably without requiring costly proprietary arch
