BACKGROUND

SmartNICs add intelligence and programmability to interface cards.  Their use cases include handling network overhead, performing common tasks such as compression, deduplication, encryption/decryption, load balancing, or media processing, speeding up VMs and containers, virtualizing and sharing flash storage, stopping security threats, accelerating hyperconverged infrastructure, and enabling software-defined networking (SDN) and  network function virtualization (NFV).  

WHY YOU SHOULD EXHIBIT AT SMARTNICS SUMMIT FAST-GROWING MARKET

Only event focused on the expanding SmartNICs market. Analysts such as Gartner and Dell’Oro Group expect the market to rise to $600M by 2024, or 23% of the total Ethernet adapter market. All the major clouds are using SmartNICs, and most other data centers and telcos will soon follow them. The Summit is an ideal way for vendors to show their long-term commitment to providing solutions.
