The Netgate Cryptographic Accelerator Card with QuickAssist CPIC-8955 Intel "Coleto Creek" allows servers to achieve sustained throughput of up to 50 Gbps. The CPIC-8955 accelerator card features a standard PCIe 2.2 interface that is easily deployed in virtually any major PC, workstation or server platform. By utilizing the PCIe bus, it is ideally suited for PCIe coprocessor-based IPsec or TLS security applications such as SSL, OpenSSL, and NGINX. Disk optimization and de-duplication tasks also benefit through the data compression functionality.
When it comes to encryption processing and establishing connections, businesses can now achieve up to 3.5X the equivalent TLS performance of an unaccelerated E5 Xeon server with 20 cores when using this card.
