Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 cryptographic
The Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 is a PCIe add-in card that delivers hardware-accelerated cryptography and compression for server workloads. It offloads encryption, decryption and compression tasks from the host CPU, freeing processor cycles for application logic. The card is built for data-centre environments that need scalable security and throughput.
Suited for servers needing crypto
This adapter fits servers that terminate TLS, process IPsec tunnels or run compression-heavy pipelines such as 3G and 4G LTE baseband tasks. It is not intended for desktop PCs, workstations or any platform without a compatible server chipset and BIOS support. Buyers who need general-purpose compute acceleration or GPU-based encoding should look elsewhere.
Integrates into a server chassis
The card occupies a single expansion slot and draws power from the bus, so it requires no auxiliary cables. It works alongside standard NICs, RAID controllers and storage adapters, leaving CPU cores available for business logic. Ensure the host platform supports Intel QuickAssist Technology drivers before installation.

Pitanja o ovom artiklu
Does this Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 need a free PCIe slot on the motherboard?
Yes, the Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 installs in a PCIe slot on a server motherboard to provide hardware crypto acceleration and compression offload.
Can the Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 operate in a server that also uses older network or storage controllers?
The adapter functions independently alongside legacy controllers; it offloads cryptographic and compression tasks without interfering with other installed hardware.
How can I verify the Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8970 is accelerating workloads after installation?
Check the server operating system or management software for the Intel QuickAssist Technology driver status and monitor crypto or compression throughput counters to confirm acceleration is active.
