Alacritech Accelerators Included in Microsoft Windows Server 2008; Enhance Network and IP Storage Performance

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Alacritech Inc., the leader of innovative data-delivery
technology, today announced that Microsoft has included support for
Alacritech's Accelerator Cards in the newest version of its server
operating system - Windows Server 2008. As the inventor and industry
leader of Dynamic TCP Offload, Alacritech's drivers have been included
as part of the "in- the-box" distribution developed for Windows Server
2008.

"Customers moving to Windows Server 2008 can easily benefit from
the enhanced network and IP storage performance that Alacritech
Accelerators can provide," said Doug Rainbolt, vice president of
marketing at Alacritech. "The Alacritech in-the-box drivers, available
as part of Windows 2008, provide customers an easy path to enable and
benefit from TCP Chimney offload functionality and performance."

Alacritech Accelerators integrate easily with Windows Server 2008
and can contribute significantly to server performance where data
movement workloads, such as file serving, reduce CPU utilization and
results in fewer servers supporting more client systems. Deploying
Alacritech's dynamic scalable accelerators means less capital and
power consumer, fewer licenses and support requirements.

Alacritech and Microsoft have long partnered to help customers get
the most performance from servers that are committed to moving and
processing large TCP payloads. As part of its partnership with
Microsoft, Alacritech participates in Microsoft's Scalable Networking
Initiative and fully supports Microsoft's TCP Chimney Offload and
network stack. Both are committed to Alacritech's Dynamic TCP Offload
model, from which Microsoft TCP Chimney originated.
