How does the Alacritech solution compare to an HBA solution?
The Alacritech solution uses a technology that was created and patented by Alacritech for the sole purpose of speeding up the transfer of data on TCP networks. iSCSI is one type of network traffic that benefits from this technology. iSCSI Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) were designed to connect to iSCSI targets and to provide some relief to the host processor when handling iSCSI traffic. Alacritech’s technology has been widely adopted by the industry as it dramatically outperforms a HBA-based solution.
