On the Road to a Cloudy World
Posted by Marketing
Recently we wrote about WAN optimizers becoming indispensable for cloud applications like backup/replication and disaster recovery.
In the past year we’ve watched a significant number of companies emerge to provide cloud services for a variety of applications that vary in scope and nature. More and more cloud users expect quick storage access from their mission critical data from remote networking architectures, including the ability to replicate and restore data when needed. This is not always possible because of the same network issues that can slow down recovery of secondary data: bandwidth restrictions, network latency, jitter, packet loss, bit errors, poor line quality and network errors.
Yes, clouds offer many benefits, including a theoretically limitless capacity and scalability, elimination of hardware acquisition and infrastructure expansion costs, the ability to budget for future growth, even the conversion of capital expenses into operating expenses. But for cloud applications to reach their true potential, they need to deal with network latency to deliver on throughput and performance. This is especially true for bandwidth intensive applications. In other words, data needs to be at the right time and right place for clouds to be effective.
We’d like to hear from companies using cloud services on their existing IP networks that are willing to evaluate HyperIP in their environment. You will see firsthand the performance improvements delivered by HyperIP that are compelling to your business.
