NetEx and Veeam Software Partnering

NetEx and Veeam Software will partner to supply free HyperIP software to customers who license Veeam Backup & Replication for VMware.

This exclusive agreement entitles Veeam users to a free one-year subscription to the 2Mb/s HyperIP (VM edition), a virtual appliance that improves the performance of moving large amounts of data across a WAN. Solution provider partners will be given the opportunity to deploy HyperIP with Veeam Backup & Replication beginning immediately. New customers who license Veeam Backup & Replication after July 1, 2010 are eligible for two complimentary 2Mb/s one-year subscriptions of HyperIP. The program will be available through July 2011.

The partnership addresses the challenges of varying network configurations and conditions that can be common in virtualization and cloud computing environments, including packet loss, latency, and jitter.

"NetEx and Veeam have a common goal of ensuring performance and reliability of VMware data protection and disaster recovery," said Ratmir Timashev, Veeam President and CEO. "We know that no matter how good the backup and replication software, network conditions can sometimes result in less-than-ideal results for customers, so we are happy that NetEx will provide its software-based WAN optimization solution to our customers in this exclusive free offer."

"Time and time again, we have proven how HyperIP extends the functionality of VMware, and Veeam’s backup and replication product provides an excellent platform for demonstrating this to a new market," said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at NetEx. "When data, or virtual systems, must be transferred between locations as in a DR test scenario, users will find that HyperIP delivers a significant performance boost."

NetEx and Veeam will collaborate in the development of joint support materials and technical resources, such as end user documentation and training.

Veeam Backup & Replication is an enterprise-ready solution that combines backup and replication in a single product for fast recovery in VMware ESX and ESXi environments, delivering near continuous data protection (CDP) at a cost that is 80 percent lower than traditional CDP. Veeam Backup & Replication combines the power of virtualization and the innovation of Veeam to provide Virtualized-Powered Data Protection, or vPower.  Veeam’s patent-pending technology enables instant VM recovery, universal application-item recovery and automated recovery verification.

NetEx’s HyperIP is a software-only, virtualization-ready WAN optimization solution for moving 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 replication applications over a shared connection while mitigating the inherent network latency and network disruption for long-distance remote TCP data transmissions. The full version of HyperIP supports long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s, the highest performance of any WAN optimization solution on the market, and 25 to more than 100 percent faster than competitive products. Transfer speed is optimized for the full range of data management applications, including backup & remote replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR). NetEx offers HyperIP for cloud infrastructures as a software-only configuration, enabling customers to quickly deploy the acceleration software into their existing VMware infrastructures.
