Solarflare® SFA7942Q ApplicationOnload™ Engine (AOE) is the second generation of the product moving application processing into the network adapter to accelerate real-time networt application performance. SFA7942Q comprises an innovative integration of an advanced FPGA onboard Solarflare's industry-leading low-latency 40GbE server adapter. SFA7942Q is an open platform that supports applications developed by Solarflare, customers, and third-party developers.

SFA7942Q provides users a unique advantage with an open platform for on-the-fly processing of network data that combines the industry's highest performing, lowest latency server adapter with an advanced FPGA acceleration engine. By processing data in hardware before it's presented to the server CPU, the SFA7942Q reduces application run-times, decreases overall latency, and minimizes server CPU workloads. As a result, users can expect to see dramatic improvements in application performance, while maintaining full compatibility with Solarflare's existing server adapter drivers and OpenOnload middleware.
