A Comprehensive Overview of Accolade’s Products and Technology

Accolade Technology was founded in 2003 and provides the most technologically advanced, lossless packet capture and acceleration adapters available in the market today.  Accolade’s ANIC line of adapters are FPGA-based and help accelerate security and networking applications developed by the world’s leading security and networking vendors. The ANIC adapters are fully PCIe compliant and seamlessly integrate into standard servers and network appliances offered by industry leaders such as Cisco, Dell, HP, Super Micro and others. Accolade’s OEM customers are leading network appliance vendors offering products for network monitoring/forensics, deep packet analysis, video stream monitoring, network test and measurement, high frequency trading (HFT), high performance computing (HPC) and more.

ANIC Adapters

Accolade adapters are available in a variety of port configurations with speeds ranging from 1 to 100 Gbps (see Table 1). Each adapter performs lossless packet capture and a variety of acceleration functions such as time stamping, packet filtering, and flow classification.

Network traffic is captured via an Ethernet interface, processed by the onboard FPGA and then intelligently steered directly to the appliance’s (host) memory for processing by the security or networking application. For multi-core CPU based appliances, the adapter intelligently distributes traffic to all available CPU cores thereby maximizing performance and efficiency.
