NetEx, the worldwide leader in high performance data transport solutions, will soon unveil a new architecture for IP storage applications that eliminates the need for expensive and complex networking equipment while solving throughput issues often associated with business-class WAN connections. NetEx will showcase this technology at Storage Networking World Fall 2004 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida October 25-28, in booth C37. NetEx's new remote IP storage application architecture uses the company's unique IP acceleration technology, a simple appliance-based configuration that easily attaches to an existing network infrastructure and requires no changes to servers/storage controllers, applications and/or network devices. "Many companies use existing data transport protocols, such as TCP/IP, because they are unaware of technology advances that excel beyond antiquated and inefficient technologies," said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. "Because of degradation due to disruptive network variations such as packet loss, jitter and latency, NetEx has developed a new standard in data transport that offers reduced equipment costs and complexity to enterprises with high-speed WAN-linked data centers seeking to overcome problems associated with the transmission of time-sensitive, mission-critical data." In addition to unveiling its latest storage application architecture, NetEx will also be promoting its line of data transport solutions which deliver unmatched performance, application support and data integrity for WAN-based IP data transfers. No other IP solution offers comparable application acceleration and bandwidth conservation with the highest end-to-end throughput. With NetEx, challenging data transfers are consistently completed on time between distributed servers for data warehousing and data mining, financial, medical, and digital video images and high-performance technical computing. NetEx brings the same benefits to extended iSCSI targets, providing better performance over distance, improved link utilizations and a shield against packet loss.
