Company’s PURE^TM (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 PURE^TM technology for data reduction on an unprecedented scale. Designed to eliminate transport layer round-trips, PURE^TM 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.

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.

Data growth is clearly out of control. A stupendous 1.8 zettabytes of digitized information exists today –a 9x increase in stored data within the last 5 years alone. With data growing at ever-increasing rates, the question being asked is: How is all this data to be stored and moved around? Is current technology up to the task, or does it need a major overhaul?

Our CEO, Raj Kanaya, considers these questions in a phenomenal guest blog on Silicon Angle. The entire post is available here. Happy reading!

“Big Data” is one of the hottest buzzwords in IT today, with its promise of deriving previously-untapped business value from unstructured data stored throughout the enterprise. How Big Data’s unique scale-out architecture enables unprecedented pricing and storage is well understood, but what has not been understood as well are the implications for the WAN. Infineta worked with IRG to test the following hypothesis: The adoption of Big Data will bring the enterprise WAN to its knees. The research – announced today - led to a number of eye-opening findings around how companies are thinking about, and implementing, Big Data.

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.
