Enterprise Strategy Group The A10 team used its super computing chops to develop its own operating system (called the Advanced Core Operating System or ACOS) which can perform high-speed parallel processing without slowing down to distribute or copy packets across multiple CPUs. This algorithm is more efficient than other industry devices that rely on the Linux operating system and its much less efficient parallel processing capabilities. The ACOS operating system is supported by A10's custom ASICs which are added to its devices to achieve a foundation of line-rate switching and routing to keep the devices humming along.
