A Project Zipline ASIC Compression without compromise: • • • •

High compression ratio Low latency Inline encryption, authentication High total throughput of 100Gbps

Disk write latency with Corsica System and network overhead

Corsica does the work

SSD read/write

Corsica is 15-25 times faster than the CPU
