Case Study: Bally Technologies achieves high availability with Perle Serial to Ethernet Terminal Servers

Bally Technologies boosts slot data throughput by 30% with Perle

Bally Technologies, a major slot machine manufacturer, faced a challenge when updating its aging ACSC slot floor system. The new IBM servers it selected could not support the serial cards required to communicate with its casino slot machines, threatening a necessary upgrade. Bally contacted Perle and explored using its Serial to Ethernet Terminal Servers to resolve this.

Perle implemented its IOLAN Terminal Servers with TruePort software, creating a new network architecture. This solution from Perle not only met but exceeded previous data throughput speeds, simplified the IT infrastructure, and enabled high availability through server virtualization. The results included significant cost savings, reduced downtime, and the ability to relocate critical IT equipment to a secure data center.
