Array Networks has introduced a new version of its operating system, ArrayOS 8.1, for its AppVelocity (APV) portfolio of application delivery controllers (ADC).
The company said the upgraded operating system leverages the SpeedCore architecture and 64-bit processing and multi-core technology to deliver enhanced improvement in performance, packet handling and memory capacity.
The new version delivers multi-fold improvements in server offload and acceleration capabilities using new and improved functionality related to server load balancing, caching, compression, system level monitoring, process/module level resilience, application flow monitoring and field troubleshooting.
The centre of the ArrayOS is SpeedCore, which uses a lock-free multi-core technology to enhance performance by up to 10 times and deliver significant capacity gains for HTTP, TCP and SSL offloading by supporting multiple 10Gbps network interface cards for application processing.
In addition, the ArrayOS 8.1 APV products support diverse network and application-level routing using software-based intelligence to deliver high performance for processor-intensive applications.
Michael Zhao, president and CEO of Array Networks, said: "We have identified datacentre ‘bottlenecks,’ and redesigned key components to make them more efficient and better able to handle the data centre evolution.
"With this breakthrough architecture, Array effectively leverages multi-core technology to deliver huge performance gains directly to customers at low TCO."
