Infineta Systems

Infineta Systems delivers solutions based on several technologies that significantly reduce the amount of traffic running across today’s data center WAN interconnect. Our groundbreaking innovation centers on the patent-pending Velocity Dedupe Engine™, the industry’s first-ever hardware deduplication (“dedupe”) engine. Unlike alternatives, the Velocity Dedupe Engine enables our solutions to maintain the highest levels of data reduction at multi-gigabit speeds while guaranteeing port to port latencies in the few 10s of microseconds. As a result, Infineta’s solutions enable customers to accelerate all data center applications (such as replication and backup) – including ones that are highly latency sensitive. It does so while reducing overall costs incurred by this growing, bandwidth-hungry traffic.

Technology Architecture

Distributed System Architecture

Unlike traditional acceleration solutions that are assembled around monolithic processing environments, Infineta’s solutions are designed from the ground-up around a distributed processing framework. Each core feature set is implemented in a dedicated hardware complex, and they are all fused together with high-speed fabric, guaranteeing wire speed acceleration for business-critical traffic.

Hardware-based Data Reduction

Data reduction is carried out purely in hardware in a pipelined manner, allowing the system to reduce enterprise WAN traffic by as much as 80-90 percent.

Fabric-based Switching

Infineta’s solutions are built on a massive scale, fully non-blocking switch fabric that can make precise switching decisions in the face of sustained traffic bursts.

Multi-gig Transport Optimization

Infineta’s solutions employ multi-core network processors to carry out transport-level acceleration at multi-gigabit speeds. By making key resource decisions at wire-speed, the system is able to maintain up to 10Gbps traffic throughput while working around detrimental WAN characteristics, such as packet loss.
