Napatech

Napatech is a Danish provider of programmable FPGA-based SmartNICs and network-acceleration hardware used for high-speed network monitoring, cybersecurity, and telecom/5G workloads. Its Link-Capture and Link-Inline software, together with the NTAPI/NTPL developer SDK, let applications capture, filter, and process network traffic at line rate with zero packet loss. The developer surface is a C/C++ hardware SDK (NTAPI) plus the NTPL programming language rather than a web/REST API; integrations ship as open-source additions to DPDK, VPP, Open vSwitch, Scapy, and Zeek via the napatech GitHub organization. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Northzone and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

Napatech is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infra Devtools, Networking, SmartNIC, and FPGA.

Napatech’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
