at300 FPGA ACCELERATOR CARD
Designed for hybrid-cloud environments where compute heavy uncompressed 4K workflows are most efficiently processed at the edge, the AT300 is arkona's latest generation Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC).
Powered with Intel S10MX FPGAs and with dual non-blocking 100GE interfaces, it packs a tremendous amount of compute power into a compact format while still being 40% more power efficient than the previous generation.
Highest density 4K/HDR
With its dual non-blocking native 100GE interfaces, the AT300 provides the highest density 4K/HDR solution on the market with up to 85 UHD instances per RU
12 x faster performance
Designed with 300 GBps HBM2 memory the AT300 is the industry's first compute platform with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) that provides up to 12 x more memory bandwidth compared to DDR4 RAM
Seamless integration
Software defined
