27. Exploits hardware acceleration for high performance
One appliance can handle
• 1M Concurrent Connections
– For instance, one appliance can handle all the cars
circulating in Manhattan in a day
• 15M non-persistent msg/sec
– For fan-out streaming of data
• 400K persistent msg/sec
– When assured delivery matters
• Predictable latency in the microseconds under load
– Quick response time for end user
High availability pairs through RDMA interconnections
