WHAT IS THE VIRTUAL MATRIX ARCHITECTURE (VMA)?
VMA is a fast, rich, flexible architecture that makes efficient use of the entire system’s capacity while providing the parallel performance of distributed processing. With VMA, all processors (switch, management, application) share load, but no single processor must see all traffic. VMA ensures that all the processing available on a Alteon Application Switch is applied optimally to the incoming traffic, ensuring high performance and eliminating bottlenecks.
