Joint Radisys, Xilinx and Napatech solution delivers 10x
performance for 5G applications driving improved ROI
Radisys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a global leader of open
telecom solutions, today announced the delivery of a smart,
virtualized RAN Accelerator solution that enables mobile operators
to offload compute-intensive operations such as networking and
cryptography workloads onto FPGA boards and free up valuable CPU
resources on standard x86 platforms. Utilizing this offload
technique, mobile operators can gain 10x performance for
virtualized 5G applications running on standard server platforms
and overcome performance bottlenecks. The solution leverages
Radisys’ RAN software, Napatech’s SmartNICs based on Xilinx FPGAs,
and Silex Inside crypto technology to provide an industry-best
performance/cost and performance/power platform that scales from 1G
to more than 10G on standard servers, driving significantly better
ROI for mobile operators.
Business Benefits
- Mobile operators are turning to Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV) infrastructures running on standard
x86 platforms to deliver 5G applications and services. However,
these commoditized platforms struggle in comparison to
purpose-built hardware to meet networking performance
requirements.
- Powered by Radisys’ market-leading
MobilityEngine™ RAN software, the virtualized RAN accelerator
solution addresses these network performance challenges by
offloading complex networking and cryptography workloads from the
servers to FPGA-based SmartNICs, freeing up the compute resources
on the central unit servers to handle VNF processing, and thereby
increasing the efficiency of all CPUs and delivering an overall 10x
performance improvement for NFV infrastructure.
- The joint solution provides
industry-best power and costs optimizations for LTE and 5G
applications. By reducing overall power consumption and CPU
utilization, the overall system performance is significantly
increased, resulting in a scalable optimized performance/cost and
performance/power solution.
- In addition, Radisys provides
end-to-end systems integration for a faster time-to-market.
“As future telecom network build-outs are re-defined on the
paradigms of software-centric networks running on open source
components and commoditized servers, they still require high
performance and cost efficiency,” said Neeraj Patel, vice president
and general manager, Software & Services Solutions, Radisys.
“This joint solution from Radisys, Xilinx and Napatech integrates
best-of-breed technologies to deliver a true multi-vendor
virtualized RAN Accelerator platform that allows mobile operators
to rapidly scale 5G service deployments in an NFV environment,
while meeting their requirements for performance, power and cost.
Radisys is focused on supporting such evolving RAN architectures to
further advance 5G rollouts.”
“By delivering our FPGA-based SmartNICs for offloading complex
and compute-intensive network and security tasks, we’re enabling
CSPs to continue to use standard x86 servers for their NFV
deployments without sacrificing performance,” said Jarrod J.S.
Siket, CMO, Napatech.
“Perpetual bandwidth explosion, continuous increase in system
complexity, and shrinking timelines are some of the constants in
communications networks. On top of this, multifaceted 5G
applications are adding new dimensions and challenges including
rapid service deployment & management, network slicing, and
on-demand, scalable, and extensible networks. The integration of
the Xilinx FPGA based Napatech SmartNIC and Radisys RAN Software
into an NFV Accelerated RAN solution is the beginning of a new
network paradigm that offers inherent adaptable-compute power to
address these challenges and fully realize the potential of 5G,”
said Farhad Shafai, VP - Communications Markets at Xilinx.
Mobile World Congress 2018
Radisys and its partners will demonstrate the RAN accelerator
solution in Napatech’s booth in Hall 6, Stand 6J21. Radisys will
