Napatech

Napatech, a portmanteau of “Napa” (the capital of wine country in northern California) and “technology”, is a public company based in Denmark. It develops and manufactures high-speed network accelerators that support real-time network monitoring and analysis applications.

In 2003, Napatech announced the industry’s first 10G programmable Ethernet accelerator based on the Virtex-II Pro FPGA. Soon after, the company set out to conquer Silicon Valley and established its first office in Mountain View, California.
