Thanks to specialized Security Processing Unit built into NodalCore C-Series accelerators it is possible to achieve more performance than is possible by just adding general purpose CPUs. Additionally, Sensory Networks' CorePAKT technology ensures that compiled signature databases occupy a memory footprint smaller than any other competing technology on the market - in many cases by up to 90%. The ability to store multiple databases in compressed format whilst still achieving high throughputs makes NodalCore ideal for applications demanding high performance on large signature databases such as ClamAV. <BR> For more information please visit <TT><A NAME="tex2html15" HREF="http://www.clamav.net/nodalcore/">http://www.clamav.net/nodalcore/</A></TT> <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> Tomasz Kojm 2007-07-11 </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
