Napatech wins Best of Show Award at Interop Tokyo
Napatech has won the Interop Tokyo Best of Show Award - Grand Prix for outstanding products in the category for test and measurement products. At the event, held in Tokyo, Japan earlier this month, Napatech’s recently released NT40E2-1 40 GbE adapter for network analysis was chosen as the winner by a jury with members from leading ICT academics, business community, and media experts.
The Best of Interop Awards recognize exhibitors that have made significant technological advancements in their specific category. The winners in each category represent the products that the judges believe to have the biggest technological and business impact in their segment.
“We are honored to receive this award, which is a great motivation for the team that has succeeded in bringing the world’s first intelligent 40 GbE network adapter to market. The device now offers frame decoding, intelligent flow detection and distribution to up to 32 CPU cores, which can off-load and accelerate the performance of network appliances”, said Henrik Brill Jensen, CEO Napatech.
Members of the jury evaluated the NT40E2-1 in a live demonstration with Spirent TestCenter using HyperMetrics 40/100G test modules as well as Spirent TestCenter Virtual. Napatech’s NT40E2-1 provides full 40 GbE packet capture of burst traffic, which in the demo at Interop was distributed to virtual machines on a per port, protocol, flow and service basis based on Napatech’s VMware support.
The latest capability to be offered by Napatech is virtualization support allowing several monitoring applications running on virtual machines to share data captured at line rate by one or more Napatech network adapters. “Not only does the NT40E2-1 provide a high-speed physical interface”, explains Jensen. “It also provides the intelligence and acceleration features to help OEM vendors deal with the 60 millions of packets per second that 40 GbE networks can generate”.
The 40 GbE joint demonstration with Spirent Communications can also be seen at the upcoming Cisco Live event from July 10th to 14th in Las Vegas on Napatech’s stand (#720). Contact Napatech for more details.
