RSSAsankya Announces Cloud Acceleration Network
June 23, 2009
Asankya has announced the general availability of its RAPIDnet Cloud Acceleration Network service. The RAPIDnet service provides up to a 40X performance improvement for Internet applications and delivers the reliability, security and global consistency necessary to make users productive anywhere in the world. As a result, corporate, SaaS and government customers can now deploy interactive, cloud applications and data services delivered over the Internet without the need to utilize expensive private dedicated networks or build out multiple data centers to support users worldwide.
Asankya's RAPIDnet provides LAN-like performance and consistency even when users are far-removed from application origin by using multiple parallel pathways across the Internet to aggregate bandwidth. With its breakthrough performance and unique ability to accelerate encrypted, application independent traffic, RAPIDnet enables customers to take advantage of the economics of using the Internet backbone for the secure delivery of applications and removes the barriers for broad cloud computing adoption.
"Companies are looking to the cloud for the economic benefits and Asankya is the first to remove the barriers to cloud adoption by optimizing secure Internet application delivery and providing maximum performance," said Asankya co-founder and CEO Scott Ryan. "Asankya's RAPIDnet service ensures reliability of mission-critical applications, reduces the time for sending and receiving data from hours to seconds, and requires no modification to existing applications or encryption policies. Quite simply, Asankya is a must-have for hosted application delivery in the cloud."

Asankya's RAPIDnet is offered as an Internet application delivery network service. RAPIDnet is the only application delivery service that optimizes bi-directional traffic (up and down), accelerates encrypted traffic (IPSec and SSL) and maintains complete application independence (TCP- and UDP-based). The RAPID protocol, the cornerstone of Asankya's RAPIDnet, is a breakthrough parallel networking technology that works on top of the Internet Protocol (IP) and is fully standard compliant. The RAPID protocol solves transport inefficiencies inherent in TCP, increases aggregate throughput across the Internet by using multiple available pathways and removes duplicate packet transmission (packet dedupe) by caching byte sequences. The protocol research was initially funded by the National Science Foundation, developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology and first deployed by the U.S. Intelligence Community.
