Despite phenomenal growth in CPU performance, many applications run into performance bottlenecks. In many organizations, data doubles every 11 months, leading to performance bottlenecks in the backup environment. Peak traffic at Web sites can overwhelm the server infrastructure. Rapidly growing trading volumes are overwhelming the systems at many financial institutions.

Indra Networks helps customers solve such problems with hardware acceleration. Indra's accelerator cards easily install in PCI-X or PCI-Express slots of any server, enabling the system to deliver more than before. This "virtual scaling" of existing server capacity requires much lower capital expenditure, miniscule additional power consumption and no additional space requirements. Hence, it is a vastly better option than simply purchasing new servers. Indra's current products accelerate compression and encryption, offloading these compute heavy tasks from the processor. Indra will expand its product line with other types of accelerators in the future, while continuing to enhance the current product lines as well.

Indra is headquartered in San Jose, CA and has an R&D center in Pune, India. Indra was founded by senior technologists, each of whom has over 20 years of experience in industry leaders like IBM, HP and Oracle, as well as a variety of startups.
