To scale its QRadar SIEM system and Network Insights tool across multiple appliances, IBM integrated Napatech SmartNICs to offload burdensome security workloads from host CPUs. Napatech's advanced onboard software was pivotal to this integration, ensuring total timestamp precision and session consistency across the entire platform. By managing complex data distribution and traffic acceleration directly on the network interface, the intelligent software doubled application performance and freed up vital compute resources. Crucially, this software-driven optimization achieved substantial cost savings and maximum scalability without requiring any changes to IBM's existing software stack, delivering the reliable visibility needed to handle dense enterprise security data.
