NetEx's HyperIP
the price of
bandwidth is
dropping, but it's
still one of t
he
largest expenses
for an IT
organization.
Exponential data
growth and new
regulations have combined to place added pressure on storage applications to meet
geographically dispersed user requirements. When a TCP/IP WAN has a typical packet loss of
approxi
mately 1%, data protection windows for operations such as volume replications can be
missed. Packet loss is a direct result of bit error rate (BER), jitter, network congestion, distance,
router buffer overruns and multiple service providers.
By eliminatin
g or reducing TCP/ IP network degradation, Network Executive (NetEx) Software
Inc.'s HyperIP accelerates application throughput, the company claims, from 300% to 1,000%
compared to the transmission rate of typical IP networks. HyperIP's compression can inc
rease
that throughput an additional two to 15 times, depending on the data's compressibility. Of course,
your mileage will vary, but those are pretty impressive numbers.
Said one judge: "[HyperIP] solves a costly market problem. [It's] a unique product th
at is very
easy to use and manage. The value is exceptional." Users simply plug the HyperIP appliance into
their IP switch and assign the storage applications to accelerate. HyperIP works with any IP
-
based storage application, and has been certified with E
MC's SRDF Adaptive Copy, IBM's Tivoli
Storage Manager, Microsoft's Exchange NetBios, Network Appliance's SnapMirror, Oracle
Corp.'s databases, and Veritas Software's Volume Replicator and NetBackup.
For companies looking to reduce backup windows and incre
ase productivity, HyperIP can help
them to achieve those objectives.

QLogic's SANbox 5200 switch
QLogic Corp.'s SANbox 5200 is the first stackable switch
featuring 10Gb FC technology. Starting at $5,795 for an
eight

port configuration, the SANbox 5200 comes with
many ease

wizards for installation,
configuration and zoning. QLogic's bundled management

also simplifies
stack management by allowing users to monitor status,
diagnose problems and perform upgrades from one
application.
The
SANbox 5200 can scale to 64 ports (you only pay for
the ports you use) and delivers the performance of a modular switch. A single, 10Gb inter

switch
link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and eliminates the cost and complexity of
trunking 2Gb por

disruptive code load and activation, so a
user can install firmware upgrades without the need to reboot the system.
According to one judge, the SANbox 5200 "is incredibly easy to use, with all the SAN functionality

The SANbox 5200, QLogic's stackable
10Gb switch, offers easy configuration.
