Network Attached Processing Feature Story

Network Attached Processing - Systemic Cost Savings

Network attached processing provides massive amounts of compute capacity and memory as a shared network service, similar to the manner in which network attached storage (NAS) provides shared storage capacity to data centers. Like NAS, it does not require disruptive changes to applications and eliminates speculative capacity planning

With a focus on high-volume online transaction processing (OLTP) applications, Azul delivers the ultimate eco-responsible hardware and software system which builds on heterogeneous legacy environments and creates a path for next generation innovations.

This new computing model enables data centers to address issues with application scalability and response time while paving a seamless path towards a shared resource model that guarantees quality of service for each application. High availability and increased security further contribute to delivering predictable service levels at lower service cost.

Azul is transforming the economics associated with computer systems by dramatically reducing both the capital and operating expenditures associated with delivering processing power – power that has been optimized specifically for today’s online transaction-oriented workloads. 

In a recent service provider customer engagement, Azul illustrated a substantial increase in margin from 33% to 65%.

Network Attached Processing Is Changing Enterprise data center Economics with:

• Better quality of service. Helping “problem applications” scale and deliver consistent quality of service.

• Less Cost. Less capital costs, less operational cost, the ability to consolidate workloads while using less power, space, cooling, maintenance and management.

• Greater Agility and Flexibility. Driving more innovation versus ‘business as usual’ - simplify capacity planning – have a true shared services infrastructure – A Demand Driven Infrastructure.

• Lowered Complexity and Risk. Azul offers the first OS-agnostic compute platform, reducing the complexity of managing heterogeneous environments. Larger capacity means fewer systems to manage, and fewer risks of infrastructure and application failures.

• Higher Customer Satisfaction. Improved response - Predictable performance under unpredictable loads - Guaranteed SLA performance
