Stampede Technologies, Inc., a provider of WAN optimization and acceleration solutions for Satellite and terrestrial-based networks, announced the availability of its new remote office acceleration appliance, FX Series 1000, which has the capability to add remote branch office appliance capabilities to the company’s FX Series 2000 and 4000 product line - for vigorous two-sided WAN optimization and acceleration.
Officials with Stampede Technologies (News - Alert) said in a press release that the new offering is to be installed at remote offices that have 3 to 15 Mbps of bandwidth connectivity to headquarters, NOCs or head-end facilities that have already deployed company’s FX Series 2000 or 4000 appliance.
The FX Series 2000 and FX 4000 appliances are head-end appliances. The FX Series 2000 supports 70Mbps and FX 4000 supports 155Mbps.
Featuring a dual core Intel (News - Alert) processor and 2GB memory, the FX Series 1000 is available in three models supporting 3, 5 or 15 Mbps remote office capacity. It is also available with SCPS-TP for military satellite deployments.
The solution can save nearly 90 percent of the bandwidth and considerably improve application delivery to end-users, when coupled with an FX Series head-end appliance, officials said.
With the addition of the FX Series 1000 remote office appliance, Stampede can offer the most diverse set of WAN optimization and acceleration products for enterprises and Satellite network operators. The solution actually provides ISPs and Teleport Operators with the same set of head-end appliance features for bi-directional acceleration of all HTTP traffic.
In addition, the advanced set of WAN optimization and acceleration features enable Satellite network providers and ISPs to recapture expensive bandwidth for re-allocation or resale to other customers.
The release of FX Series 1000 will facilitate ISPs as well as Teleport operators to install all three of company’s remote optimization solutions within the same environment using the same head-end FX Series appliance. With this, Satellite ISP customers who use Internet-based satellite services can experience an enhanced service level.
Furthermore, Stampede’s Acceleration On-Demand solution when used along with FX Series 1000 provides bi-directional acceleration functionality without the need to install software on end-user devices. The solution will be able to inject the appropriate acceleration technologies automatically into web pages when the pages are accessed by the users for the first time.
