NetEx offers free trial download of HyperIP for VMware to qualified resellers, users

Delivers 6X speed improvement on VMware data migration

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – June 1, 2009 – NetEx®, the leader in high performance data transfer over IP networks, today announced free evaluations and downloads of its award-winning HyperIP® WAN optimization software. The software which operates on customer supplied VMware ESX platforms and infrastructures, is available for 10 day trials.

Qualified service providers, resellers and end users can download HyperIP software at www.netex.com and simply click the ‘free evaluation’ button on the company home page. Access to the HyperIP evaluation software is also available through the VMware Partner Catalog at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/155643 and the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace at http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/node/155643.

Free evaluations of HyperIP WAN optimization software allows organizations to properly test HyperIP with replication, backup, iSCSI, cloud storage, and other IP-based data transfer requirements and managed service offerings. When used with VMware, HyperIP dramatically reduces the overall cost and complexity of data replication and disaster recovery requirements by removing the effects of latency, packet loss and other network issues that degrade application throughput. HyperIP has been proven to reduce VMotion transfers from 20 minutes to 3 minutes over a local area network and provides necessary bandwidth rate controls which prevent link saturation by bandwidth intensive applications. HyperIP over long distances provides even greater performance advantages when used over a shared IP connection because of the inefficiencies of TCP recovering from latency and packet loss.

“Offering free evaluation copies of HyperIP is another way NetEx is changing the economics of large-scale deployment of virtual machines,” said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. “HyperIP is the only virtual WAN optimization software that is used for optimizing replication applications from EMC, NetApp, Veeam, Dell EqualLogic, HP LeftHand Networks, VMware, and others within VMware ESX virtual infrastructures. In the process we also want it simple for our partners and prospects to easily test HyperIP for VMware in their environment and at their convenience.”

“NetEx continues to assist resellers in delivering accelerated replication for an improved total customer experience and reduced total cost of ownership. HyperIP is a key component that we are bundling together with other ‘best of breed’ virtualized storage applications under VMware to help our customers significantly cut DR costs and complexity,” said Richard O’Brien, Technical Director of Triangle Computer Services.

A guide to HyperIP supported applications is available at: http://www.netex.com/products/hyperip/supported-applications.

HyperIP is an award-winning business continuity and disaster recovery optimization software for backup, recovery and data replication applications. Patent-pending technology accelerates and optimizes 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 data transmissions. HyperIP supports data transfer rates from 1.5 Mb/s to 800 Mb/s, which provides growth and scalability for our customers without the need to replace hardware.
