KTNF Partners with MaxLinear

MaxLinear, Inc. announced a strategic partnership with KTNF, IT technology company specializing in servers optimized for cloud and edge computing.

KTNF will leverage MaxLinear’s Panther storage accelerator to enhance security and improve data processing performance for HPC, cloud and big data users.

The company’s Panther storage accelerator introduces a revolutionary product category designed to maximize data storage system performance. This all-in-one ‘storage accelerator’ consolidates a suite of storage acceleration functions, including compression, deduplication, encryption, data protection, and real-time validation, in a single hardware-based solution. Engineered to offload and expedite specific data processing tasks, Panther provides performance boosts, storage cost savings, and energy efficiency compared to traditional software-only, FPGA, and other competitive solutions.

KTNF will utilize Panther to enhance security and improve data processing performance in its storage servers, providing more options for HPC, cloud and big data users. The solution increases data transfer speeds and optimizes storage device operations by compressing server- generated data in real time. Embedded security technology blocks threats throughout the data movement process, significantly enhancing security within existing infrastructure.
