NetEx Adds Data Compression Capability to HyperIP, the Fastest High-Volume, Long-Distance Data Transport for IP Networks Effective HyperIP Data Throughput Jumps 2X - 4X ORLANDO, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- NetEx(R) -- the industry's provider of the world's fastest data transport with guaranteed data delivery for the past 20 years -- today announced at the Storage Networking World Show that it has added data compression capability to its recently introduced HyperIP offering. The enhancement further increases the effective data throughput for high- volume data transfer requirements by an additional factor of two to four when compared to non-compressed transfers. Combining compression with HyperIP's already efficient transfer capabilities provides significant enhancements for distance constrained applications. "What I know is, our customers tell us we are providing them significant value when HyperIP allows them to move data over long distance in minutes versus multiple hours on their existing IP infrastructure," says NetEx CEO Craig Gust. "HyperIP compression makes a great product even better," says Marc Staimer, President and CDS of Dragon Slayer Consulting. "HyperIP solves the bandwidth utilization and cost issues of storage over WANs. The adaptive compression now increases that high-value by a factor of two to four times." HyperIP compresses data prior to transmission and decompresses it after transmission for even greater efficiency with high-volume data applications such as storage networking, data mirroring, disaster recovery, snapshot, data warehousing and data mining as well as transmission of financial, medical and digital video images and high-performance technical computing. Graham Bull, General Manager of IT Infrastructure & Operations for Australia's largest telecommunications provider, Telstra Corporation, says, "NetEx has provided Telstra with reliable, stable products for fast data transport since 1985. As these products evolved for use with standard IP networks, they have become the accepted company standard for timely transmission of large volumes of data between mission-critical applications." Bull adds that, "By introducing HyperIP, Telstra is seeking the same efficient data transport functionality over long haul IP networks for TCP/IP- based applications. HyperIP is part of our plan for the deployment of TCP/IP- based business continuity and disaster recovery applications in its computing environment. Telstra expects HyperIP to help achieve improved cycle times and cost effectiveness in the delivery of its IT services through the more efficient use of core IP infrastructure now as well as when new standards emerge." In addition to conserving bandwidth and reducing equipment costs for enterprises with multiple data centers connected by high-speed WANs including DS3 and OC3, HyperIP dramatically alleviates TCP/IP degradation associated with longer distance (200-plus miles) transmission of time-sensitive, mission- critical data, even on noisy or congested networks. NetEx is marketing HyperIP globally through direct sales and its distributors and storage partners in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe. Details are available at http://www.netex.com/ .
