Cards
The COMBO card family is a set of development boards focused on network data processing, which consists of high-performance cards with industry standard PCI form factor. The heart of each card is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chip supplemented by memories, PCI Express and interface connectors, power supplies, etc. Due to the flexibility of FPGA chips, the functionality of COMBO cards can be on-the-fly (within just several milliseconds) changed by loading a new configuration into the FPGA. See our Card Gallery. These cards are no longer available.
