ADQ delivers greater than 50 percent increase in application response time predictability3, more than 45 percent lower latency4, and more than 30 percent improved throughput5 running open source Redis*, a widely used database among cloud service providers. Other advanced capabilities include enhanced Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) to improve packet processing efficiency and enable new services, and faster processing of latency sensitive workloads with support of both iWARP and RoCE v2 Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA).
Application Device Queues (ADQ)
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
