Web 2.0 Applications And Services Driving Demand For High Speed Data Transport Optimization
The rapid acceptance of Web 2.0 applications and services has provided a dramatic boost in demand for WAN acceleration technology, according to NetEx, the leader in high-speed data transport over TCP.
HyperIP enables the rapid sharing of collaborative files and software-as-a-service architectures to remote users. Without acceleration these new applications would be burdened by the inherent performance bottlenecks in TCP data transmission and bringing WAN-based applications to a crawl. According to the Enterprise Strategy Group, the millions of users of social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook and the massive bandwidth consumption of the video-sharing site YouTube are rapidly changing data transport optimization technology from a "nice to have" to a "must-have" technology. With the large amounts of rich media content data being shared across the Internet and the user expectation for instant response data transport optimization products such as NetEx's award-winning HyperIP are hot technologies right now.
"The explosion of Web 2.0 deployments and social networking sites are creating unprecedented demand for bandwidth and the only way to economically satisfy that demand is with a solution like HyperIP that compresses, optimizes and accelerates data transport across TCP," said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. "HyperIP changes the economics of transferring massive data volumes across IP networks, enabling customers to send more data and send it faster than with a basic IP WAN."
HyperIP mitigates TCP performance issues that are common when moving data over WAN connections because of bandwidth restrictions, latency due to distance and/or router hop counts, packet loss and network errors with application acceleration and Data Transport Optimization for remote data replication and large file transfer requirements. HyperIP eliminates these issues with an innovative software design developed specifically to accelerate traffic over an IP based network. HyperIP applies proprietary optimization algorithms and then compresses the data to improve WAN efficiency. HyperIP also includes Data Replication Optimization (DRO) and Data Migration Optimization (DMO) providing customers the confidence that their valuable information will be protected (or moved) on-time, every time. HyperIP boosts the performance of storage replication applications from vendors such as EMC, NetApp, Symantec, IBM, Data Domain, and FalconStor.
About HyperIP
HyperIP is NetEx's award-winning business continuity and disaster recovery optimization solution for backup, recovery and data replication applications. It provides unmatched performance for moving TCP data efficiently using patent-pending technology that accelerates and optimizes industry-leading data replication and file transfer applications. HyperIP aggregates multiple data replication applications over a shared connection while mitigating the inherent network latency and network disruption for long-distance remote TCP/IP data transmissions. HyperIP data transport optimization software and appliances solutions support long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s, the highest performance on the market, and 25 to more than 100 percent faster than competitive products. Transfer speed is optimized for the full range of data management applications, including backup and remote replication and business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR). HyperIP has been qualified with EMC's SRDF, Centera Replicator, Celerra Replicator, RecoverPoint and DLD3, TrueCopy from Hitachi Data Systems, IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager and Global Mirror, SnapVault and SnapMirror from Network Appliance, DataGuard and DBsync from Oracle and Symantec's NetBackup, Replication Exec and Volume Replicator, Data Domain and FalconStor's Replication products.
