NetEx Brings Economic Relief to Enterprise Customers With HyperIP Appliance Rental Solution

New Solution Enables High-End Data Transport Optimization for Short Term Migration, Replication Projects

MINNEAPOLIS, MN December 1, 2008--NetEx®, the leader in high-speed data transport over TCP, today announced an innovative appliance rental program, enabling IT managers to acquire market-leading Data Transport acceleration technology for short-term, large-scale data migration projects while minimizing their capital outlay during a period of economic challenges.

NetEx is making its award-winning HyperIP Data Transport optimizations appliances available for rental, providing enterprises with a powerful and affordable method of application acceleration for remote data replication and large file transfer requirements. With the HyperIP rental option, customers facing short-term needs to move or replicate vast amounts of critical information using their common Ethernet and TCP/IP networks can leverage HyperIP’s patent-pending acceleration and optimization technology to ensure that they make the most effective use of their wide area network (WAN) bandwidth and meet their production time windows.

“In the current economic climate IT budgets are being stretched to the point where they are impacting business operations by precluding companies from acquiring desperately-needed technology,” said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. “Offering HyperIP appliances on a rental basis is an innovative solution to help IT operations meet their technology commitments during the economic downturn.”

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 the industry-leading data replication and file transfer applications by aggregating 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 line-optimization appliances support long-distance data transfers at up to 622 Mb/s, the highest performance of any optimization appliance 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 & remote replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR).

HyperIP is available in a variety of scalable configurations, based upon bandwidth required with data rates ranging from 1 Mb/s up to 622 Mb/s. Competitive vendors lack the wide scalability of the HyperIP platform because of hardware-limited data rate designs. To improve the data rate performance beyond the hardware-enforced limits, customers need to perform a forklift upgrade and install entire new systems, both at the local data center and remote site, wasting time and the initial hardware investment. NetEx eliminates these problems with the scalable software design at the core of HyperIP.
