Why: Performance improvements for use cases such as:

  • Faster offsite backups and retrieval of data via optimized S3 object storage

  • High-performance S3 object storage access from on premise

  • Replication between data centers over an enterprise WAN

  • Replication optimization for Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO)

  • Master copy data management for global content publishing

  • DR to the cloud for quick synchronization of data from any source

UltraFast will be add-on feature to company’s product portfolio. Benefits include:

  • Migrate data to the cloud: Optimize data streams for large-scale data transfers between geographically dispersed IT environments.

  • Replicate data for DR: Replicate data to the cloud for cost-effective fail over.

  • Integrate islands of data: Quickly transfer data among remote office, factories and corporate for big data analytics.

  • Scheduled bandwidth throttling: Automatically regulate and prioritize network traffic and performance according to administrator-defined bandwidth limits and schedules.

  • Leverage existing environment: Work with existing applications, storage (hardware and software) and networks to improve network efficiency without additional hardware.

  • Increase bulk data transfer rate by up to five times: Speed transfers by up to five times (based on 1-4GB file sizes across high quality networks (<0.1% packet loss)).

  • Improve WAN link utilization up to 16 times over TCP alone, with 95% link efficiency: Overcome bandwidth degradation due to high round trip transfers over large geographic distances and packet losses from multiple routers (based on 1-4GB file sizes across high quality networks (<0.1% packet loss)).
