standby, line-interactive and double-conversionÂoffering widely varying levels of efficiency, performance and protection.

Specialized ASIC design with electromagnetic and air 'Gaps' is becoming an expensive and highly constrained approach, and more tools are needed. The first tools to enable this data separation have been in software and operating systems, but rounding out that portfolio is a reconfigurable multi-core firewall capability in the Acalis secure processor.
