NetEx to Provide Free WAN Optimization Software

Network Executive Software, Inc. (NetEx) announced that
it is offering free WAN optimization software for users of CA ARCserve Backup
and CA ARCserve D2D to accelerate data replication over WANs by addressing the
challenges of network conditions such as packet loss, latency and jitter that
can negatively affect throughput and performance of backup and recovery at
remote and branch office locations or within virtual environments.

This offer entitles CA
ARCserve Backup and CA ARCserve D2D product users to free one-year
subscriptions of its 2Mb/s HyperIP WAN Optimization virtual appliance that
improves the performance of replication across a WAN. The HyperIP WAN
Optimization virtual appliance can be downloaded from the NetEx website or from the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace.

Members of the
CA Technologies Data Management Partner Program or resellers who are interested
in reselling HyperIP are encouraged to sign up as a NetEx HyperChannel partner
by filling out the following application: Become a Partner.

"In today’s
information-centric, compliance-sensitive enterprises, it is essential for data
backups to run without a hitch all the time, every time," said Steve
Fairbanks, vice president of Data Management at CA Technologies. "We are
glad to partner with NetEx to help ensure that IT organizations can rigorously
safeguard these critical backup processes – even in the event of unexpected
network impairments."

Part of the CA ARCserve
Family of Products, CA ARCserve Backup features central management,
patent-pending data deduplication, infrastructure visualization and reporting
that helps users more effectively manage their backup and recovery. CA ARCserve
D2D is a disk-based backup product that provides bare metal restore to
dissimilar hardware and patent-pending block-level infinite incremental
snapshot (I2 technology) in a single package. HyperIP is a lab-tested solution
that accelerates CA ARCserve Backup and CA ARCserve D2D when both latency and
packet loss are present.

"CA ARCserve Backup and
D2D products manage latency well but will be slowed by TCP when there is
latency and packet loss," said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President, Business
Development and Marketing at NetEx. "Even a small amount of packet loss
can substantially slow down many applications, and is exacerbated by network latency.
HyperIP manages packets across the WAN, shielding TCP from packet loss,
allowing CA ARCserve Backup and D2D to run at their peak performance on less
than premium WANs."

This program will be
available through July 2012.

NetEx’s HyperIP
WAN optimization virtual appliance is a VMware Ready solution for moving
large data sets across WANs. Patent-pending
technology accelerates data replication and file transfers by aggregating
multiple applications over a shared connection, and mitigating network
conditions that lead to poor application performance and throughput. HyperIP
supports a range of data management applications, including backup,
replication and business continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR). NetEx offers
HyperIP for cloud infrastructures as a software-only configuration, enabling
customers to deploy a WAN accelerator into their existing VMware
infrastructures.
