Qualified service providers, resellers and end users can download HyperIP
software at www.netex.com and simply click the 'free evaluation' button on the
company home page. Access to the HyperIP evaluation software is also available
through the VMware Partner Catalog at
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/155643 and the VMware Virtual
Appliance Marketplace at
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/node/155643.

Free evaluations of HyperIP WAN optimization software allows organizations to
properly test HyperIP with replication, backup, iSCSI, cloud storage, and
other IP-based data transfer requirements and managed service offerings. When
used with VMware, HyperIP dramatically reduces the overall cost and complexity
of data replication and disaster recovery requirements by removing the effects
of latency, packet loss and other network issues that degrade application
throughput. HyperIP has been proven to reduce VMotion transfers from 20
minutes to 3 minutes over a local area network and provides necessary
bandwidth rate controls which prevent link saturation by bandwidth intensive
applications. HyperIP over long distances provides even greater performance
advantages when used over a shared IP connection because of the inefficiencies
of TCP recovering from latency and packet loss.

"Offering free evaluation copies of HyperIP is another way NetEx is changing
the economics of large-scale deployment of virtual machines," said Robert
MacIntyre, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing at NetEx.
"HyperIP is the only virtual WAN optimization software that is used for
optimizing replication applications from EMC, NetApp, Veeam, Dell EqualLogic,
HP LeftHand Networks, VMware, and others within VMware ESX virtual
infrastructures. In the process we also want it simple for our partners and
prospects to easily test HyperIP for VMware in their environment and at their
convenience."

"NetEx continues to assist resellers in delivering accelerated replication for
an improved total customer experience and reduced total cost of ownership.
HyperIP is a key component that we are bundling together with other 'best of
breed' virtualized storage applications under VMware to help our customers
significantly cut DR costs and complexity," said Richard O'Brien, Technical
Director of Triangle Computer Services.

HyperIP is an award-winning business continuity and disaster recovery
optimization software for backup, recovery and data replication applications.
Patent-pending technology accelerates and optimizes 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
data transmissions. HyperIP supports data transfer rates from 1.5 Mb/s to 800
Mb/s, which provides growth and scalability for our customers without the need
to replace hardware.
