Telstra has chosen the NetEx HyperIP WAN optimisation technology to optimise the performance of its global MPLS network for a major corporate client (un-named) wanting to send over 1 terabyte of data daily between Sydney and New York.

According to NetEx, HyperIP provides application acceleration and WAN optimisation for data replication and large file transfer requirements that are not usually possible over global distances due to high latency.

"HyperIP eliminates the traditional limitations of high-volume TCP/IP data transfers over long distances by shielding applications against packet loss, jitter, congestion and other network disruptions; mitigating inherent network latency for remote TCP/IP data transmission; and compressing data for improved WAN efficiencies using sequence reduction algorithms."

NetEx says that Telstra is one of many telecommunications leaders that have adopted HyperIP "as the cornerstone of its expanded data protection, disaster recovery and data migration services."

 "This solution accelerates our customers' ability to move data even when they have limited bandwidth," said Drew Kelton, Telstra Global Solutions managing director. "With Telstra offering the NetEx HyperIP solution, businesses will be able to improve performance and efficiency, no matter which continents they are sending data to and from.
