Alacritech is the world's leading supplier of TCP Offload Engine (TOE) Scalable Network Accelerator (SNA) solutions and the only supplier of SNA products for Microsoft® Windows®-based systems. Our products-Scalable Network Accelerators™ (SNAs) and iSCSI Scalable Network Accelerators™(iSNAs) - are quickly becoming the industry standard for data offload solutions.
Alacritech is well positioned as a leading technology provider to address the convergence of storage and networking, offering products that incorporate support for both. By offering products that support both, we enable network scalability: Servers can support more clients and storage, and network utilization is enhanced. All of Alacritech's Accelerator products are based on the company's patented Dynamic TCP Offload Technology™.
Alacritech's approach to TCP offload is being wholly adopted by the industry as the standard technology that will drive the next generation of networking. Microsoft® licensed Alacritech technology and incorporated it into the Windows® Operating System as TCP Chimney Offload.

Scalable Network Accelerators™ (SNA)
Optimizing the Performance of your Network Servers
Alacritech's Scalable Network Accelerators (SNAs) allow servers to perform more efficiently and therefore scale to support additional clients, additional workloads, and enhanced application performance. SNAs are designed to focus solely on moving network processing off the host CPU, allowing the CPU to do what it is intended to do: general purpose processing. The added efficiency and scalability allows the server to do more and results in a reduction in the number of servers required. Not only does this save the cost associated with buying additional servers, it also leads to savings in power, cooling, software licenses and management.
As companies grow, email, databases, file-serving, and rich media are all combining to overwhelm even the most powerful systems. The complicated task of network processing eats up CPU cycles. Today, it's become common for servers to have multiple gigabit connections, rendering host processors unable to keep up with user demands.
Using the systems that you already have in place, you can now process more applications and serve more clients than ever before for truly scalable systems.

iSCSI Scalable Network Accelerators™ (iSNA)
Efficiently Connecting Servers to Storage
Alacritech® iSCSI Scalable Network Accelerators™ (iSNAs) provide the highest-performing and most cost-effective solution for connecting servers to network iSCSI storage available today. Alacritech's patented Dynamic TCP Offload Technology™ relieves the burden of processing network storage traffic from the host system. The results include enhanced server scalability that allows the server to support more clients and storage, and often a reduction in the number of servers required, resulting in tremendous savings in capital, power and cooling, systems management and software licenses.
Alacritech has combined the broadest product line in the industry with high-performance features such as MPIO, 802.3ad network port aggregation and failover, and Jumbo Frame support.
