Growing Deployment Of WAF (Web Application Firewall) Solution Is Set To Drive Intelligent Network Interface Card Demand

The global intelligent network interface card (iNICs) market is set to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period. iNICs are built to integrate high-end appliances and PCI Express compatible servers. It serves the purpose of maintaining security across firewalls, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) management, Unified Threat Management (UTM), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and Content Management Systems (CMS), network security, SSL/IPSec offload, WAN optimization, Software Defined Network (SDN), branch routers, Deep Packet Inspectors (DPI), virtual CPE, application delivery controllers, and custom networking appliances.

The market is predominantly driven by the growing requirement of maintaining network security & availability. The built-in circuitry is used to allow the bypass of network traffic in case of system failure, software & firmware upgrades, or malicious attacks. These cards provide content protection & inspection, accelerates SSL & IPsec, offers deep packet analysis, etc. Also, cloud computing technology continues to drive investments in networking owing to its application in software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) to cut down operating costs, while improving network scalability, flexibility, and reliability. The QorIQ T series products are market-ready solutions that offer cloud computing services by deploying NFV and SDN implementations including access points, switches, routers, and Intelligent Network Interface Cards (iNICs). Virtual machines can be managed by distributed firewalls, which mandates the use of iNICs.

Geographically, the market has been segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Central & South America. North America accounted for a major revenue chunk over the past several years. While, Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as a dominant region over the projected time frame. This can be attributed to the significant number R&D activities undertaken by the industry players. Furthermore, countries like India, China, and Japan ae booming their Information Technology sector, which will propel market growth over the coming years.

Some of the key players operating in the market includes Marvell, NXP, Mellanox Technologies, Artesyn, and Intel. The smart Network Accelerator’s efficiently manages data distribution and analysis of CPU cores and board peripherals. Its primary purpose is to offload x86 server processors for the maintenance of data throughput throughout the network. The board includes an advanced Rhino Health Monitoring (RHM) tool, which effectively provides uninterrupted monitoring of host processor via heartbeats, voltage, and vital temperature checkpoints.
