Company’s PURETM (Post-Undifferentiated Reduction Enhancement) Is Massively Effective Data Reduction Technology for 100 Gigabit Links
SAN JOSE, Calif. — April Fool's Day, 2012 — Infineta Systems (“Infineta”) today introduced its groundbreaking PURETM technology for data reduction on an unprecedented scale. Designed to eliminate transport layer round-trips, PURETM will allow organizations to successfully avoid bandwidth saturation, eliminate the effects of latency on transport protocols, and achieve the industry's highest possible level of reduction in a small, cost effective footprint.

As Ashwath mentioned in his blog a few days ago, we were scheduled to present to Tech Field Day delegates yesterday (March 29). The event was streamed live from our site, and snippets of the presentations will be made available on the same page within a few days.
In looking through the Twitter feed for #NFD3 yesterday, I saw some quotable and humorous quotes that I’m reproducing below:

Infineta will be a beehive of activity this coming Thursday. We will be testing our technical mettle in front of a number of bloggers who will be visiting our offices as part of Gestalt IT’s Networking Field Day (NFD). NFD, as most of you may know, is a unique event that connects select IT product vendors and independent thought leaders. We will showcase our Big Traffic WAN optimization solutions to a group of networking gurus who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, take the covers off our award-winning technology, and ask probing questions. This is going to be a no holds barred, no-fluff session that couldn’t be more different than your typical marketing event.

2011 has been a memorable year here at Infineta. Here are a few things that come to the top of my mind:

What a busy couple of weeks at Infineta! Between tons of analyst briefings and ongoing marketing programs, we sponsored two phenomenal technology conferences close to home – Storage Decisions in SF last week, and IT Roadmap in San Jose yesterday.
In talking to a number of attendees from some large enterprises at these conferences, I noticed a very interesting commonality: Even though these enterprises already use branch WAN optimization solutions, most of them are actively looking at alternative solutions to optimize their inter-data center WANs. These organizations had concluded that the same WAN opt solutions that are effective in accelerating branch traffic do a pretty poor job of accelerating inter-data center WAN traffic.

You are a key member of a network team managing a critical set of data centers, and are constantly dealing with replication, backup or virtualization related issues across the WAN. You would like to learn more about WAN optimization but simply don’t have time for some slick sales guy to come in and talk about “the importance of WAN optimization solution agility” or “how you can accelerate ALL your applications.” You just want something that addresses the inter-data center WAN issues you are dealing with today and want to ask very specific questions without all the “So when will you have budget for this project?” pressure.
If you live in the SF Bay Area, there are two awesome shows that Infineta will be participating in, where our technical experts will be present to answer all your questions. The events are:

A large healthcare firm we recently talked to had an upcoming data migration project, where the IT team planned on moving 800TB of data from a to-be-decommissioned data center to a larger data center 1,100 miles away. The WAN connectivity between the two sites consisted of 2x1Gbps MPLS links. The storage and network team concluded that the migration would take four months to complete, making it operationally cost-prohibitive. The network team considered leasing a 10Gbps WAN link, but came to the conclusion that the significantly higher WAN expenditure would in no way guarantee faster migration. Interestingly enough, one-time or periodic migrations are becoming quite common for medium to large enterprises.

I had the privilege of participating in a debate-style session titled “What are the Next Steps for WAN Optimization?” at Interop earlier this week. Jim Metzler, an independent industry analyst, hosted the event and kept the other panelists and me on our toes. A very engaged and tech-savvy audience enriched the discussion through relevant questions.
The way the debate played out, plus my subsequent conversations with some folks from the audience, underscored two key points:

Our product head Haseeb Budhani (@InfinetaProductGuy on Twitter) wrote an op-ed piece for Data Center Knowledge entitled “Data Center Traffic Highlights WAN Optimization.” Unlike a lot of the familiar vendor-submitted editorials that poorly mask biases, Haseeb does a great job of genuinely educating the marketplace without strings attached – kind of the way journalism is supposed to be done.

One of the best parts of my job is meeting some incredibly smart people who are pushing the envelope at all levels of networking. Seeing new technologies in use at Google and Yahoo! is one thing, but meeting enterprise IT guys who are experimenting and actively deploying the likes of Hadoop and Cassandra to fulfill their internal customers’ “big data” needs is truly inspiring. To top it off, if these IT guys are deploying their Hadoop clusters across multiple data centers and are building their WAN infrastructure to support multi-terabyte data transfers per day, that’s just magical!
