Exinda Speeds Up the Application Acceleration Market
Exinda is First to Combine Application Acceleration with Application Response Measurements Technologies onto a Single Network Management Appliance
SEATTLE, May 30 / Exinda Networks today achieved an industry first by combining two new technologies onto a single appliance to achieve more efficient network management. Exinda's new technologies are Application Acceleration (AA) and Application Response Measurement (ARM). By implementing Exinda's AA and ARM technology together, network performance in certain environments can be improved by as much as 60 times the current rate.
Exinda's AA feature includes wide area network (WAN) memory, which reduces the amount of data on the WAN, and TCP Acceleration, which speeds data transfers across the WAN. Exinda's ARM technology measures system performance at the application layer and determines whether delays exist in the network or in the server.
Having Exinda's AA and ARM features on the same appliance eliminates the problem of correlating network data from two logically different systems. Recent network performance testing of the combined AA and ARM features measured a fifteen fold improvement for Web-based applications and a 45 fold improvement to file transfer applications.
"Exinda continues to maximize the efficiency of enterprise networks and enterprise management processors," says Con Nikolouzakis, founder and executive director for Exinda Networks. "Exinda appliances are cost effective. The new features solve the common problem with existing solutions which required organizations to purchase at least two separate systems, one for accelerating applications across the WAN and another for measuring the improvement in application response times."
"The market is maturing, but there is still a lot of work to be done in consolidation inside the WAN optimization space but also across the routing, switching and security platforms," continued Nikolouzakis. "We're seeing WAN optimization extending into many systems. As long as there is copper in the ground, there will be a requirement for WAN optimization."
Customers Praise Exinda's New Technology
"Exinda has constantly exceeded our expectations in delivering new technologies to address our challenges," said Mike Dealy, information technology manager for Global 360. "With their latest Application Acceleration product, we have experienced significant applications performance improvements over our global WAN. Exinda's ARM technology gives me the ability to report on a weekly basis how my applications are performing at layer 7. Exinda is integral in our ability to operate our global company efficiently and stay competitive."
Pricing and Availability
ARM is a free software module available today for clients with current software subscriptions and is included in all 47xx and 67xx platforms with firmware version 4.60 and above.
Application Acceleration is being released with Exinda's newest product series, the 4800 and the 6800 appliances, with first customer ship date in June, 2006. Pricing ranges from USD $6,000 to $25,000 depending upon the type of appliance.
