Orca N1025
The Orca-N1025 is a dynamic, high-performance P4 DPU, ideal for OVS, RDMA acceleration, and storage, featuring a compact design with an Intel Ice Lake processor.
Overview
Orca N1025 is a P4 programmable cloud-native SmartNIC with independent intellectual property rights. It
supports server boot via cloud disk, and includes 2x 25G Ethernet ports, 1x 1000BASE-T GE management
Ethernet port.
The P4 network acceleration engine is a VLIW ISA P4 processor designed for vSwitch acceleration, with specific
P4 instructions to complete protocol parsing, packet encapsulation and decapsulation. And it supports tens of
millions of flow tables, and achieves the wire speed packet forwarding meanwhile.
Target Application
Orca N1025 SmartNIC features high-performance, low-latency, high-flexibility and low-power dissipation.
The dynamic programmable P4 engine enables users to flexibly extend or customize new protocols with the P4
language, to update and upgrade P4 applications without interrupting business flow. Therefore, Orca N1025
should be different in application scenarios in different areas.
Orca N1025 is a competitive network application acceleration solution such as OVS, NFV, SDN vRouter, 5G
UPF, etc.
