0th March, 2017: Edinburgh, Scotland — Alpha Data and Helion announce a partnership to deliver hardware accelerated LZ77 based lossless Compression solutions to the Data Center market. Alpha Data has verified the performance of the Helion LZ77 Compression core with the Xilinx KU060 FPGA on the ADM-PCIE-KU3 FPGA accelerator card. A turnkey solution is available for customers without the expertise to develop FPGA designs, to allow them to deploy this accelerated hardware. Helion LZ77 Compression cores can be used in a wide range of network, storage and acceleration applications in the data center: contact Helion for IP licensing information. Alpha Data provides a range of deployable FPGA accelerator cards suitable for accelerated network and storage interfacing as well as computational tasks such as data compression.
