Front End
Data center management has a constant focus on optimizing utilization while delivering
performance and meeting service levels. Alacritech allows IT managers to get the most
out of servers by helping ensure that networking doesn’t become the bottleneck when
delivering mission critical data to clients. Poor throughput and latency compromise the
ability to meet customer commitments. Optimizing utilization means delivering targeted
performance at the lowest cost to the enterprise.
Alacritech enables IT managers to use the right server configurations from the start,
not only realizing savings in capital but space, power, and cooling. For example,
a single-socket, 4-core server with an Alacritech 10GbE SNA can provide the same
performance as a dual-socket, 4-core (8 total) server with a standard 10GbE NIC.
Due to reduced CPU utilization, Alacritech can reduce the power consumption of a
Windows server by up to 25% over a standard NIC.
Back End
Alacritech’s Dynamic TCP Offload combined with Microsoft’s native iSCSI Initiator maximizes
server utilization when connected to an iSCSI SAN. Achieving targeted throughputs,
while maximizing efficiency, ensures that the server does not become the bottleneck
when filling a 10GbE pipe to back-end storage. Massive amounts of data can be moved
with minimal CPU, which results in optimal utilization and lower cost of ownership.
High availability is achieved through MPIO and Alacritech’s failover implementation.
PXE boot provides the most scalable and easily managed boot-from-SAN solution.
About Alacritech
Alacritech is the leading provider of innovative technology that increases the speed,
power, and performance of servers, enabling a truly scalable network. Organizations
that use Alacritech’s proven technology are better able to reduce the burden of network
processing on their server, scale to support more clients and applications, achieve
higher performance and realize increased network utilization.
