NAPATECH INSIGHTS

AUGUST 2018

 Ray Smets
New CEO of Napatech

In entering its next stage of growth, Napatech recently welcomed industry leader Ray Smets as new CEO. Smets comes with extensive experience and a strong track record from companies like Cisco Systems, McAfee Security, A10 Networks, Metaswitch Networks and Packeteer.

“As one of the few companies in the world with the expertise to deliver world-class FPGA-based application-driven solutions, Napatech is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the market shift to reconfigurable computing platforms. I am looking forward to lead the company in its next stage of growth,” says Smets.

Hyperscale Requirements
Transforming Networks

The shift towards cloud networking, 5G and IoT is disrupting the way applications and services are created and deployed. With this disruption, the gap between hyperscale processing requirements and available capacity is widening.

Reconfigurable computing addresses this gap by combining the flexibility of software with the high performance of hardware. By using vastly flexible high-speed computing fabrics like Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as a complementary processing alternative, compute intensive tasks can be offloaded, assuring maximum server performance and CPU utilization. 

See how a performance improvement of up to a factor 30 can be achieved.
