Installation guide

1-6 Alacritech Accelerator Hardware Installation Guide (Copper)
which uses an innovative application-specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) for protocol processing.
Products using SLIC Technology architecture increase server
performance and efficiency in a number of ways:
• Protocol processing is offloaded onto the Accelerator,
freeing the CPU for application processing and maximizing
throughput.
• The Alacritech Internet Protocol Processor (IPP)
programmable ASIC, optimized for protocol processing,
delivers faster performance than general-purpose CPUs.
The SLIC Technology architecture eliminates the burden of protocol
processing on the host CPU. By offloading protocol processing,
Alacritech Accelerators free the system for application processing,
boosting server and storage system performance.
