Napatech’s 5G User Plan Function (UPF) offload solution accelerates the performance of containerized 5G Core software by fully offloading the 5G UPF data path to a Napatech programmable SmartNIC, while maintaining full software compatibility with industry-standard APIs.
By leveraging Napatech’s SmartNIC solution, 5G core software vendors maximize the performance of their User Plane Function (UPF) subsystem: • Delivering industry-leading users-per-server capacity through the complete offload of the UPF data plane; • Supporting 100 million concurrent flows and 85 million packets per second throughput on a single SmartNIC; • Minimizing the cost-per-user for service providers deploying 5G infrastructure; • Simplifying and optimizing the architecture for centralized monitoring of remote Packet Core infrastructure. • UPF represents the highest compute workload within the 5G packet core
By leveraging servers configured with Napatech Smart Network Interface Card (SmartNIC) solutions, data center operators can deliver virtualized, cost-effective bare metal cloud platforms: • Achieving a level of performance that would otherwise require more expensive severs with higher-end CPUs; • Boosting their networking performance without consuming server CPU resources; • Ensuring the deployment agility and scalability normally associated with Virtual Server Instances (VSIs). Optimizes the allocation of host CPU cores for running applications and services instead of networking workloads; • Full support for both FPGA-based and Data Processing Unit (DPU)-based SmartNICs; • Delivers best-in-class vSwitch performance to accelerate enterprise, cloud and telecom workloads.

Can you bridge the gap between customer and our product development? Would you like to be an integrated part of Product Development? Does troubleshooting drive you, and can you understand what the costumers’ challenges are? Are you motivated by creating success in the short run rather than on projects with long timeframes?
Napatech is looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our exciting journey, developing state-of-the art network offload solutions running on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Are you ready to join the journey and be part of an ambitious and skilled team? Then this position might be something for you.
