SCOTTSDALE ARIZ. – Feb. 17, 2003-ITWorx today unveiled here at DEMO 2003 NetCelera, a WAN capacity expansion appliance that is unmatched in expanding network capacity and accelerating all enterprise applications.
The innovative solution accomplishes this by eliminating network traffic redundancy using patent-pending technology. Targeted at enterprises, NetCelera operates over line capacities ranging from 64 Kbps to 45 Mbps, delivering up to 10-fold improvements of network capacity and speed.
As a result of improved network efficiencies, enterprise customers can now greatly reduce bandwidth costs, improve application performance, and eliminate the need to add new network links, effectively extending the life of their existing WAN infrastructures. NetCelera is particularly suited for companies seeking to reduce high data communications costs due to distributed operations or outsourced functions.
For example, NetCelera is a tremendous aid to offshore outsourcing by reducing transmission costs between US-based companies and their offshore outsourcers. NetCelera also addresses the global telecom needs of enterprises that send and receive large amounts of data between branches. Implementing NetCelera eliminates the time and expense required to add new lines.
According to Youssri Helmy, CEO of ITWorx, “Our value proposition is simple. Enterprises dedicate large portions of their budgets to data communications functions today. NetCelera can help these companies achieve dramatic cost savings by improving network efficiencies and eliminating the need to add costly network infrastructure. In fact, most companies can expect a hard dollar ROI in less than six months.”
According to Jeff Godin, director, strategic systems and design at Corel, “We looked at many solutions and technologies to address our goal of increasing our network bandwidth. After a thorough search, we found that NetCelera’s approach delivers unparalleled gains in network capacity and speed improvement. We first deployed on one link and had such positive results that we are now considering deployment of NetCelera on all our WAN links.”
“In networking, there remain few areas in which enterprises can attain cost savings and a rapid ROI,” said Chris Shipley, executive producer of DEMO 2003. “ITWorx’s NetCelera WAN capacity expansion appliance addresses that head on by offering a solution that not only reduces costs and improves performance, but also brings ROI in a matter of months.”
Product Details
NetCelera transparently eliminates redundancies in all IP based traffic, so that users of all enterprise applications benefit from the increased network capacity and improved response time. NetCelera’s performance stems from its use of a patent-pending “Layer 5 Adaptive Compression and Multiplexing” technology, which enables it to recognize all redundancies in the traffic and eliminate them as well as minimize transmitted control packets.
NetCelera operates equally well on private lines, frame relay, ATM, Satellite or VPN, and scales from 64Kpbs lines to 45 Mbps. To ensure high availability, the appliance has no moving parts and has a patented fail-safe switching card guaranteeing continuous network operation even if the power is lost. A front panel LCD wizard enables NetCelera to go live in three steps, and an easy-to-use Web interface takes 10 minutes to configure and connect remote sites. NetCelera has several real time reports to analyze network traffic and performance gains. It also has SNMP and Syslog reporting and alerting options. To help companies evaluate their need for network optimization, ITWorx has made available NetCelera Scout, free, downloadable software that enables companies to analyze their actual network traffic and advises them of potential performance improvements.
Pricing and Availability
NetCelera is available immediately Pricing is bandwidth based starting $2,500.
