NetEx Supports for vCenter Site Recovery Manager

NetEx, in WAN optimization software, announced an extension of its support for the VMware virtual environments by qualifying VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager on its HyperIP for VMware WAN optimization software.

The HyperIP-Site Recovery Manager solution automates and accelerates disaster recovery operations to minimize down time and ensure that enterprise users can meet their Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).

VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager accelerates recovery processes by automating the execution of failover and simplifies the creation and management of recovery plans. The DR plans become an integrated part of the VMware virtual environment. In the event of a failure, Site Recovery Manager automatically executes the recovery plan while administrators retain full control with the ability to pause or stop the execution at any point.

HyperIP for VMware is a software-only implementation of NetEx’s award-winning WAN optimization software for disaster recovery optimization of backup, recovery and data replication applications, enabling unmatched flexibility in deployment and performance scalability on virtual machines. HyperIP delivers unmatched performance in accelerating DR operations by moving TCP data more efficiently using patent-pending technology. It accelerates and optimizes industry-leading VMware-enabled data replication and file transfer applications – including VMware VMotion, Veeam replicator, IBM TSM, Data Domain replication, DataCore AIM, and others – by aggregating multiple data replication applications over a shared connection while minimizing the effects of network latency and network disruption. This makes HyperIP for VMware an ideal complement to vCenter Site Recovery Manager for optimizing enterprise DR processes.

"vCenter Site Recovery Manager is a must-have tool for enterprise VMware deployments and now HyperIP for VMware is a must-have application to ensure that Site Recovery Manager can perform at optimal speed to help customers achieve increasingly difficult RTOs," said Robert MacIntyre, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at NetEx.

The innovative scalable software design at the core of HyperIP enables customers to choose from a variety of scalable configurations, based upon bandwidth required, with data rates ranging from 1 Mb/s up to 800 Mb/s. If a customer’s transfer requirements change they can re-enable HyperIP for higher data rates via a simple software key upgrade, eliminating the cost and complexity of competitive products that are designed with hardware-enforced speed limitations that require forklift hardware upgrades – both at the local data center and remote site – to achieve higher data rates.

HyperIP for VMware supporting vCenter Site Recovery Manager is currently available with pricing starting at $1,700 per license.
