IT infrastructures operating with pure Cisco environments often face a complex, lengthy and contentious process to introduce WAN optimization without impacting other data moving across the network.  Unlike specialized hardware-based WAN optimization solutions that compete with Cisco and are perceived as polluting the Cisco network, HyperIP is completely non-disruptive to the Cisco environment as it operates from non-intrusive VMware ESX servers near the application. As a software-based virtual appliance and operating out of band, installation of HyperIP is faster and simpler, and can be managed from a central location, saving on IT management expenses.

"NetEx HyperIP changes the conventional approach to WAN optimization with a software-based virtual appliance that is quick and simple to deploy, easy to manage and creates LAN-type performance for data movement across WANs," said Robert MacIntyre, NetEx Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. "Companies can use HyperIP software as a global standard for WAN-based data replication acceleration, even in a pure Cisco network, without disruptions or conflicts, making it a much better alternative to hardware-based solutions."

HyperIP is an enabling technology that operates over Cisco networks supercharging the performance of the widest range of replication applications, including support for applications from EMC/Data Domain, Dell/EqualLogic, HP/LeftHand, IBM, Microsoft, Network Appliance, VEEAM and many others.  Scalability to higher data rates can be achieved through a simple software key, eliminating the need for any forklift hardware appliance upgrades that may impact the network or production schedules.
