Problems in the network environment

BackgroundWith the spread of cloud computing and data usage & utilization (sharing, consolidation, analysis, etc.), network traffic between on-premises and cloud is on the rise.

Problems in business


It takes a long time to transfer data when aggregating and analyzing big data in cloud.

Data utilization

Businessglobalization

Cloud utilization

It takes a long time to edit files when sharing files with overseas locations.

It is hard to install dedicated devices in cloud when speeding up network communication between on-premises and cloud.

Transfer and utilization of big datacauses slowdown on the network

Solutions Improves communication speed by optimizing network communication Can be easily installed in cloud environments,

due to the provision of virtual appliance (VM image) formats

Solutions by optimizing network communication


Shortens transfer time of big data and improves the data analysis cycle

Eliminates the deterioration of WAN-specific communication speed and improves file editingefficiency

Speeds up data transfers toward cloud environments with virtual appliances

Smart Communication Optimizer can solve the problem!

What is Smart Communication Optimizer?


What is Smart Communication Optimizer?


WAN optimization network software that speeds up data transfers between on-premises and cloud

Eliminates the influence of communication delays in long distance communication and makes full use of available bandwidth

Can be installed without a dedicated device on virtualization platforms and public clouds

Corresponds to a wide range of bandwidth via software (0.1~10Gbps)

e.g.: FTP communication data transfer speed become 16 times greater!*

e.g.: About 12.5 hours for 10TB transfer-> 2.5 hours*

* The measured value in our test environment. It fluctuates depending on the environment.

Supplementary explanation

Relationship between communication distances and network transfer ratesAs the communication distance becomes farther, the influence of communication delays increase, and the transfer rates of the network (WAN) decreases.

* Our company’s test environment experiment* Our company’s test environment experiment

As communication distance becomes farther, communication delays increase.

As communication delays increase,transfer rates decrease.

Smart Communication Optimizer realizes faster data transfer by making effective use of the unused bandwidth.

The ability of the linecannot be used up.

("Unavailable bandwidth" occurs!)

The decrease in communication speed cannot be solved by

increasing the network bandwidth.

Easy to install in on-premises or public clouds since it is provided in VM image format

This system can be used immediately by importing a VM image file to a virtualization platform such as VMware ESXi.

Easy configuration with Initialization Wizard. It can be installed in cloud systems where it is impossible to install

dedicated devices.

No influence on existing operations

When a packet passes through Smart Communication Optimizer, it is not necessary to change the IP address.

(2) Smart Communication Optimizer works between the client and server via transparent IP communication.

* Influence on the existing network when installing Smart Communication Optimizer Target communication is sped up only by setting Smart Communication Optimizer as the default gateway. If your router has a packet-redirect feature, changes to the default gateway are not necessary. (Setting the

redirect feature for packets is necessary. )

Installation without remodeling your business applications is possible

Backup of large volumes of image and video data (several TB/day)

Application example 1:

Backup operations for large volumes of data


Forwarding time

Forwarding time is greatly reduced

Problem：Backup forwarding takes a long time because of the large volume of image and video data.

Backup

Losses and delays occur on the line, creating areas of

waste

Forwarding takes a long time.

Solution：Time required for forwarding is reduced without changing backup operations!!

Useable bandwidthUseable bandwidthVideo data

No need to change operations

Waste is reduced and the usability

is increased

Optimal use during evenings and other times when available bandwidth can be used.

Reduces the time to backup large volumes of data
