AXL300 accelerator PCI card

The AXL300 is enabled with Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) to further improve performance to more than 660 SSL connections per second with CRT-enabled applications. It is also enabled with MultiPrime™, a patented technology from HP/Atalla that increases the performance of public key cryptography on both server and client platforms and on resource-constrained devices such as web phones and PDA's. Up to eight cards in a single server provide linear, scalable performance. The AXL300 is designed for fast and easy installation and use on ProLiant Servers and is supported by IM (Insight Manager). The AXL300 is easily exported worldwide wherever ProLiants are sold.
