AHA360-PCIe

The AHA360-PCIe is a PCI-e plug in card that adds GZIP compression and decompression to data networking streams.  This card supports data rates up to 2.5 gigabits per second.  Communication and storage networks require high-speed compression solutions to provide low latency links.  Compression also saves valuable media space when storing files to disk or tape.

The AHA360-PCIe is great for systems that don't require the speeds that AHA's AHA363-PCIe and AHA367-PCIe cards achieve.  It's also ideal for taking advantage of hardware compression in cost sensitive applications.  The AHA360-PCIe is excellent for SAN servers, virtual tape emulation backup and recovery systems, point-to-point communication link servers and SSL accelerators.
