Hi=C2=A0Sultan,
Software virtualization=20
has been continuously influencing the data centre during the past two decad=
es, from compute to networking to storage, culminating in software-defined =
data centres (SDDC). For example, networking functions, such as virtual rou=
ting and switching done in software on a hypervisor CPU have become a norm.=
 However, performance optimisation has been a growing concern as well. To a=
ddress it, a trend was adopted recently by the major device manufacturers t=
o redefine the data centre with the introduction of the concept of data pro=
cessing units (DPUs). These are powerful accelerator cards capable of offlo=
ading various functions, such as networking and storage into specialised hi=
gh-performance hardware and running a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu on =
their general-purpose CPU for control plane purposes.
Leading public cloud providers already use custom SmartNIC designs, such as=
 AWS Nitro or Azure SmartNIC. However, there are generally-available device=
s as well fit for private cloud infrastructure use-cases. If you aim to bui=
ld cloud infrastructure with SmartNIC DPUs, this is the right webinar for y=
ou to learn more about:

=09- The market drivers for SmartNICs and their benefits
=09- How can SmartNIC DPUs be compared with regular NICs
=09- Where does the SmartNIC DPU fit in the data centre
=09- Understanding how SmartNICs provide a new layer of security and isolat=
ion

Webinar Schedule: 17th February, 3PM GMT
