Accelerated Transport For High Latency Loss Networks

Packeteer SkyX Accelerator logo

Overview

Accelerate file transfers, large and small
Speed XML and HTTP sessions, disaster recovery, database sync and backups
Optimise application performance over high-latency and satellite links
Increase link utilisation on fat WAN links
Maximise bandwidth utilisation and ROI
Minimise retransmission and recover more quickly from errors

SkyX Accelerator increases the amount of data carried over the link, accelerates Web applications and speeds large file transfer response times.

TCP Acceleration

Enjoy faster database connectivity, Web and remote-access applications while maintaining full TCP reliability and end-to-end flow control. Specifically optimised for long delay, high bit error and asymmetric bandwidth conditions. Accelerate all TCP-based applications-including Web access, FTP file transfers, ERP and e-mail.

Data Centre Replication Acceleration

SkyX Accelerator technology overcomes latency effect on TCP over high-bandwidth links by using bandwidth much more efficiently and improving replication performance over high capacity data centre-to-data centre links. Replication sessions complete up to 100 times faster and are not subject to the stalls and session drops associated with packet loss.

XML and Web Acceleration

Response times improve dramatically with enhanced HTTP performance. SkyX XpressWeb and XpressXML technology speeds delivery of embedded objects in Web-based applications. Further accelerate Web downloads by reducing time needed to establish each new HTTP connection.

Fully Transparent Protocol Layer

SkyX Accelerator architecture is specifically optimised for long delay, high bit error and asymmetric bandwidth conditions.

XML and Web Accelerator

SkyX XpressWeb and XpressXML technology speeds delivery of embedded objects and Web-based applications.

High Capacity Optimisation

SkyX Accelerator makes efficient use of bandwidth and improved replication performance over high capacity data centre-to-data centre links. Also improves performance at T1 rates and, in some concurrent TCP sessions, functions at OC12/STM-3 rates.

On-the-Fly Data Compression

On-the-fly data compression offers compression ratios of up to 10:1, increasing the amount of data carried over the link.

IPv6 and SCPS-TP Acceleration

SkyX Accelerator speeds up Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) traffic when running the SCPS-TP (Communications Protocol Standard) protocol in bridged mode-expediting next generation IPv6 networks.

Models

From hub and spoke to the highest bandwidth networks, SkyX Accelerator takes performance to all the end devices in your network-regardless of topology with:

Ready-to-install, rack-mounted hardware device
Powerful acceleration for networks with higher bandwidth or hub sites.
Network performance for smaller networks, branch offices or for use as a remote unit on hub and spoke networks
Point-to-point link acceleration--perfect for accelerating ISPs to a US or EU based backbone

SkyX 250

The SkyX 250 is ideal as a remote, or hub, device to bring high network performance to lower bandwidth networks. Also use at both sides of the link in a point-to-link as well as in fully meshed networks.

SkyX 750

For the most demanding networks, the SkyX 750 delivers unmatched network acceleration performance. No other device even comes close.

SkyX Gateway XR10

The SkyX Gateway XR10 is well suited to networks with high latency, high bit error and asymmetric links. Designed as an edge/remote device, it performs best at maximum bandwidth with a single, very large FTP-and supports an industry-best number of simultaneous sessions and connection turnover rate. No other device even comes close.
