Accelerators in servers with PCI-X or PCI Express (PCIe) architecture. 1.1 Description Alacritech Scalable Network Accelerators (SNAs) are single-port or multi-port network interface cards (NICs) that employ Alacritech’s Dynamic TCP Offload technology, which uses an innovative application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for protocol processing.
2 Hardware Installation 2.1 Hardware Installation Overview Alacritech Accelerators are designed for servers and storage systems on a Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet network using TCP/IP. The system they are installed in must have the following features: • Supported operating system (see Section 1.4).
