ITWorx Eliminates Tunnel Traffic: Page 2 of 2

BlueArc entered a partnership with ItWorx and is recommending NetCelera 1.5 for use with its NAS servers. Customers need at least two NetCelera appliances, one sitting on each end of every WAN link.

Helmy claims SpeedArray improves transfer rates of compressed files by 15 times and accelerates bulk data files more than a hundred-fold, giving NetCelera a huge edge over competing products from Expand Networks Inc., Peribit Networks Inc.,
and Packateer.

“Four times is the fastest anybody else gives you on a good day,” he says. “We’re establishing a new benchmark in WAN performance.”

SpeedArray will ship as a free upgrade to NetCelera customers. NetCelera, first released in February, ranges in price from $2,500 for a box with a 64-kbit/s link to $45,000 for a 45-Mbit/s connection.
