HyperIP Software Is Made Available via Subscription
Developer NetEx announced this week that its HyperIP software WAN optimizer was given price consideration in order to better serve the SMB market.
NetEx has introduced subscription-based pricing for its HyperIP software WAN optimizer. According to the developer, the move “reduces up-front costs and simplifies budgets for mid-tier users, cloud, and service provider partners.” 
HyperIP is VMware Ready software that focuses on accelerating storage applications over wide area networks. The software-only WAN optimizer is designed to solve virtualization and cloud infrastructure transfer issues for applications such as backup and remote replication, business continuance/disaster recovery, migration, or on-demand services like transferring and recovering data from cloud storage sites.†
The new subscription-based pricing is intended to make it more affordable to add optimization software to virtual environments in support of such projects as server migrations. It’s also aimed at helping to mitigate bandwidth restrictions, network congestion, and latency.†
Subscription pricing varies based on the data management applications performance required. It’s also based on a 12-month term.
“Simplifying our pricing and lowering the cost of entry to be more in line with IaaS [Infrastructure as a Service] or SaaS [software as a Service] providers makes sense,” explains NetEx vice president of business development and marketing Robert MacIntyre, “particularly to segments of the market with virtualized environments and organizations providing data services to end users, such as MSPs.”
Now that HyperIP sports SMB-friendly pricing, and now that virtualization and cloud infrastructure transfer issues have been addressed, NetEx says the software is poised to become “a compelling option in this space.”
“HyperIP is the ideal solution for moving large data sets across WANs securely, swiftly, and seamlessly,” states a recent NetEx press release to EH Publishing. “HyperIP accelerates a wide range of other VMware data migration functions across WANs, including VMotion and Storage VMotion, vCenter Site Recovery Manager, and vCenter Converter for migration of physical-to-virtual images.”
In recent validation testing, DeepStorage Labs found that using HyperIP can accelerate VMotion migration of virtual machines by 1,000 percent. HyperIP supports long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s.
Users can download a full version of HyperIP software on a 10-day trial basis from the NetEx Web site or the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace.
