"HyperIP is not only the best WAN optimization product on the market, but also maintains the most comprehensive third-party storage application support in the industry." said Robert MacIntyre, NetEx Vice President of Business Development and Marketing. "And with HyperIP's capabilities for VMware and soon for Hyper-V virtualized environments, NetEx is a single source for WAN optimization solutions for every physical and virtual infrastructure."

HyperIP is the industry's first software-only WAN optimization solution to enable LAN-type performance to improve transfers of large data sets across WANs securely, swiftly and seamlessly. Patent-pending technology accelerates and optimizes industry-leading data replication and file transfer applications by aggregating multiple data streams over a shared connection while mitigating the effects of bandwidth restrictions and latency due to distance and/or router hop counts, packet loss and network errors.

HyperIP supports long-distance data transfers at up to OC12 rates of 800 Mb/s, the highest performance of any WAN optimization solution on the market, and up to 100 percent faster than competitive products by leveraging a high-efficiency design that utilizes 80 to 90 percent of available bandwidth. Transfer speed is optimized for the full range of data management applications, including backup and remote replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR).

In addition to operating seamlessly with the industry's widest range of top backup, DR and replication applications HyperIP fully supports WAN optimization for the industry standard FTP and iSCSI protocols.
