So those mentioned several configurations are being built out of volume ingredients and we always use processors and network adapters for these type of workloads. So now we are using normally Intel Xeon scalable 61, 52, or 38 for dataplane or then we are using some for control plane and other usual IT workloads somewhere in the middle of the range of the available core counts and appropriate chipsets that are being delivered in those servers. For Ethernet controller now, current one being used is 710 series, and this allows connectivity of 10, 25, and 40 gigabits on Ethernet ports. It allows multiple ports per adapter, and it is now very stable in production for quite some time adopted by all the usual server manufacturers. In some configurations where we're looking for either more input/output operations per server or we are looking for reduced annual failure rates, we are using solid state drives, instead of normal hard drives, and they come in different categories. They are the SATA ones. They are the PCIe ones. And they are the obtained PCIe ones. So and then depending on the workloads requirements, sometimes it makes sense to put acceleration cards that can accelerate both the software platform and the application itself. And here example is fixed function accelerator like QuickAssist technology. And to make this whole software platform also optimized in software, we have different libraries for this hardware acceleration and other algorithm primitives like data plan development kits or QuickAssist patches are available in all the right communities and products. And then also, for storage, we have a storage acceleration library. So let's now go in each of these ingredients and introduce which versions of different hardware products that we're using. Over time, we transitioned the Intel Xeon E5 and E7 series into Intel Xeon scalable processors normally for data plane and higher end of control plane, we're using the gold product line. [INAUDIBLE] is being used with platinum product line that, like previously, E7 compared to E5 is priced higher. And this is for normal dual socket servers that consist the volume of IT in cloud hardware, and this was by the original definition of [? NFE ?] to run the volume hardware. This is how we blended that and deployed most of it. And then we have system on the chip type of products that are used, for example, for universal CPE on-premise environment that are also virtualized, running their workloads. For the Intel Xeon scalable processors in communications workloads, for data plane, primary value comes from higher I/O bandwidth, 50% compared to CPUs and also higher memory bandwidth, also 50% so just by running the same workloads on the current platform compared to what was with Xeon E5. It's simply packets are simply passing more easily through it, so we get much faster data rates on it. And we also have the crypto and compression acceleration in some of the version of the chipset. Or if not available in the server chipset, it can be added on the adapter on the PCIe card. And then we have also other platform ingredients that are improving overall the workload situation on those platform. So regarding Ethernet adapters, we have here sample of those that are being produced by us as either single port, dual port, and quad port on different connectivity and protocols. So you can see here, for example, support for 10 gig, 25 gig, and 40 gig Ethernet ports. Those are Roman numbers. So for example, X means 10. XXXV means 25 gig Ethernet port, so that's easy to read. And then we have also these type of Ethernet controllers available on products that are coming in blades. In most cases, this is also still produced by Intel but for according to the spec of appropriate server OEM blades. For QuickAssist technology, this is accelerating encryption and compression workloads. Here is a list of all the relevant encryption workflows that many are mostly here listed used in the comms workloads. And the way how the technology is offered is either as a separate chipset where this can be added in, for example. On the storage devices, we have design [INAUDIBLE] for that. Or now, this is included in some of the server chipsets. It also is available as PC Express plug-in card so that normal rack-mounted servers can also have it, and this is certified with most of the usual IT server OEMs-- this type of PC adapters. And then you also have system on the chip version. So integrate that together with everything else that is coming on the same piece of silicon. [MUSIC PLAYING]
