Focus on Developing Leading Edge Cyber Security & Network Monitoring Solutions Up to 200Gbps
Consider a Technology Partner with Expertise in Host CPU Offload to
Reduce Costs & Accelerate Time-to-Market
Leading network appliance OEM vendors offering cyber security / network monitoring products require lossless packet capture and analysis capabilities at speeds of up to 200Gbps. When software can no longer handle the deluge of data or cannot perform a required advanced packet capture function such as flow classification, packet merging, or deduplication, the choice between buying or building a solution often comes down to time and budget constraints.
Customer Engagement Model
Accolade Technology, the leader in hardware-based, lossless packet capture and acceleration adapters (4 x 1G to 2 x 100G), partners exclusively with OEM network appliance vendors 
that are focused on developing leading edge security and networking related products. The term “partner” is used to describe the customer relationship because all engagements require close cooperation to successfully integrate an ANIC adapter(s) into the customer’s network appliance.
During product development, the customer will have to make some modifications to the software application and network appliance in order to take advantage of the advanced capabilities offered by each ANIC adapter. However, customers can rest assured that Accolade engineers will be available throughout the process to offer unparalleled software expertise and support to ensure that the customer’s network or security application gains the maximum benefit possible from each ANIC adapter.
Why Accolade?
There are at least three key reasons why customers choose Accolade Technology for their security and network application acceleration needs.
- Technology Leadership – Accolade is the technology leader in the FPGA-based, lossless packet capture and acceleration market. Figure 1 shows the numerous market firsts Accolade has achieved over the years.

- Intellectual Property – There are many vendors that provide “raw” FPGA-based cards, leaving the customer to figure out what to do with the hardware. In contrast, Accolade provides not only the hardware, but also in-house developed intellectual property as well as customized functionality if required. This is crucial because with Accolade a network appliance vendor has a single partner that can provide hardware, leading edge intellectual property along with support and software integration resources to bring an entire solution to market in record time.
- Time to Market – Many appliance vendors believe they can build all needed functionality themselves and sometimes entirely in software. This may be true, but is building everything yourself the most optimal use of time and resources? Accolade has accumulated vast expertise over the past decade by working directly with many security and networking vendors just like you. Let Accolade show you how they can substantially cut your time to market; saving you not only time but also making you more money!
