Peribit And iDirect Partner To Deliver Satellite Bandwidth Solutions

Peribit's Sequence Reducer Product Family.
Santa Clara CA (SPX) Oct 26, 2004
Peribit Networks Monday announced a joint technology and marketing partnership with iDirect, a developer of satellite-based broadband access solutions for enterprise, government, carrier and educational customers as well as satellite network operators.

The two companies will combine the newly introduced, Peribit SR-15 Sequence Reducer product with the newly launched iDirect iNFINITI series hub and remote satellite networking products to accelerate application performance over satellite services that can now be auto-deployed in remote sites with no IT resources, including environmentally hostile locations.

Today, Peribit introduced the new entry-level SR-15 platform specifically designed for branch offices and remote sites in need of boosting application performance over links with limited bandwidth and high latency as commonly found on satellite links.

The iDirect iNFINITI series based off of the company's currently successful NetModem II+ remote and hub product line includes the 3000, 5000 and 7000 series of remote Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) routers supporting different levels of user requirements as well as a family of line cards enabling network operators to support SCPC, Mesh and Star networks to multiple satellites all from a single hub chassis.

The hub solutions built from the iDirect iNFINITI series platform will allow for scalability to multiple thousands of remote sites. To manage the entire network, operators will be able to use both the PeriScope Central Management System software and the iDirect scalable Network Management System (NMS) architecture to support global network customers with a single NMS manager for worldwide implementation.

By combining the Peribit and iDirect systems, network service operators and customers have a complete solution for increasing application performance over satellite links that is cost effective and simple to install.

"The Peribit/iDirect solution is closing the performance gap between satellite and land-based WAN services such as lease line Frame Relay and IP VPN," says Warren Brown, vice president of marketing with iDirect.

"We're seeing two-to-four fold increases in bandwidth and considerable increase in application performance. This is slashing response times of ERP/CRM, database, office automation, email and storage applications including remote data replication and backup and disaster recovery."

"We have direct experience integrating the Peribit SR and iDirect products," said Paul Wright, Vice President for Operations at Network Enterprise. "We performed compatibility testing between the two company's platforms and testing in a data center replication environment enabled us to deliver a 4-times bandwidth increase."

The SR-15 takes full advantage of the Peribit PeriSphere architecture which integrates interdependent technologies that feature Molecular Sequence Reduction (MSR), a patent-pending next-generation compression technology to increase satellite bandwidth capacity by up to four times, without the need for a network upgrade.

It also supports latency reduction through Peribit's Packet Flow Acceleration to overcome the impact of latency on TCP-based applications, which is especially important to remote sites connected via satellite-based WAN links.

In addition, the SR-15 is based on the PeriSphere bandwidth management capabilities which apply essential Quality of Service and bandwidth allocation services.

These integrated technologies work in concert with the iDirect platform to deliver the most complete solution to enable remote sites to improve their application performance levels dramatically on existing satellite links while keeping costs in check.

The Peribit services can be centrally managed by the Peribit PeriScope Central Management System software which was also introduced today.

PeriScope Version 5.0 enables IT managers to configure, manage and monitor data center-based, as well as remotely deployed, Peribit Sequence Reducers distributed across an enterprise.

The iDirect iNFINITI series equipment can all be managed by iDirect's iMonitor and iBuilder scalable network management system (NMS) which enables network operators to manage multiple networks from a single NMS.

"Today's partnership with iDirect opens new opportunities for Peribit in the satellite market while increasing the value of the iDirect iNFINITI series products," says Mike Banic, vice president of corporate marketing with Peribit.

"Joint iDirect/Peribit customers will be the beneficiaries of a dramatically improved WAN infrastructure that actually simplifies their network operations while saving money on recurring link costs."
