AHA Products Group announced today the introduction and immediate
availability of two new GZIP Compression Accelerator products. This
latest development, following a long history of compression products,
has unmatched performance and power savings. Both cards support GZIP,
ZLIB, LZS, and Deflate and have a low profile, PCI-Express®
Gen-2 x8 form factor. The AHA371 and AHA372 products provide expansion
control, on-the-fly compressed data verification for high integrity
storage systems, and excellent compression ratios while performing full
duplex compression and decompression at 10 or 20 Gbps throughput,
respectively. Device drivers are available free for a variety of
operating systems.
With almost 3 Billion Gigabytes (GB) of data being generated every day,
computing systems are facing throughput, latency, and storage challenges
like never before. By providing the equivalent compression performance
of several servers, the AHA371 and AHA372 high-speed compression
accelerators enable systems to store more data and transfer at faster
rates. AHA has again demonstrated its leadership position by delivering
a GZIP hardware solution that can greatly increase throughput and energy
efficiency while reducing CPU utilization and latency. These new
accelerators deliver a quick ROI through maximizing system performance
and offer a compelling choice over competing GZIP solutions.
AHA compression solutions are used by tier 1 storage, WAN Optimization,
Big Data, banking, and high frequency trading companies world-wide. AHA
remains the preferred supplier for GZIP acceleration due to unmatched
customer support directly from their development engineers.
“New and existing customers alike love the high-performance and
future-proof nature of a single driver for all of our GZIP
accelerators,” stated Jeff Hannon, AHA’s General Manager and Vice
President of Engineering. “Most customers have evaluated and verified
our performance in less than an hour, and we have an easy migration path
from 5 to 20 Gbps with 40 and 80 Gbps solutions available in the very
near future.”
Availability
The AHA371 and AHA372 have been released to production and orders are
being accepted now. AHA is also offering free 30-day evaluations of the
new cards for qualified customers.
