NetEx Earns FalconStor Certification for HyperIP Data Transport Optimization Appliance

MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
NetEx(R), the leader in high speed data transport, today announced
that its HyperIP(R) bandwidth optimization appliance has been
certified by FalconStor(R) Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), providing
FalconStor users with a tested and proven application acceleration
solution.

The certification follows joint performance testing by the NetEx
and FalconStor to prove interoperability and validate the value
proposition of HyperIP in accelerating data rate performance across
TCP/IP transports for FalconStor data protection applications,
including DiskSafe, FileSafe, VTL and others.

"IPstor and other FalconStor applications are an ideal test bed
for HyperIP as it demonstrates the real world challenges and
bottlenecks of sending large volumes of data over IP transports," said
Robert MacIntyre, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing
at NetEx. "These test results vividly demonstrate the ability of
HyperIP to add significant value to FalconStor applications."

"Our applications suite working in conjunction with the NetEx
HyperIP data transport appliance clearly positions FalconStor for mid
to high end business continuity and disaster recovery requirements
with performance second to none," said Bernie Wu, Vice President of
Business Development at FalconStor. "We are also looking forward to
working with NetEx as they release their VMware version of HyperIP in
the near future," stated Wu.

HyperIP is NetEx's award-winning business continuity and disaster
recovery optimization solution for backup, recovery and data
replication applications. It provides unmatched performance for moving
TCP data efficiently using patent-pending technology that accelerates
and optimizes the industry-leading data replication and file transfer
applications by aggregating multiple data replication applications
over a shared connection while mitigating the inherent network latency
and network disruption for long-distance remote TCP/IP data
transmissions. HyperIP data transport optimization appliances support
long-distance data transfers at up to 800 Mb/s. Transfer speed is
optimized for the full range of data management applications,
including backup & remote replication and business
continuance/disaster recovery (BC/DR).

The scalable design of HyperIP allows customers to buy into the
platform starting at 1.5 Mb/s and then add performance as needed up to
800 Mb/s all in the same appliance with no hardware upgrades required.
Customers can purchase the performance that they need instead of being
forced to purchase a specific hardware model with vendor-imposed
performance limits as offered by typical WAN optimizers. Unlike their
competitors, HyperIP software features are not priced separately.
Every HyperIP appliance is a complete turnkey solution with advanced
features, including TCP application acceleration to mitigate latency,
packet loss shield to protect against variable circuit quality
conditions that can disrupt and degrade application performance, block
compression for up to a 15x performance boost, and application
aggregation.
