Applicable to various types of network environments; data
deduplication and compression enable up to 10 times improvement of throughput
with only software
Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of
a technology for accelerating data transfer speeds that can be applied to
various types of network environments used for cloud, mobile applications and
other services.
Companies are today increasingly positioning their business
systems in the cloud and consolidating their servers into datacenters. This is
driving rapid growth in data transfer volume between multiple datacenters as
well as datacenters and end-user equipment. While specialized hardware or
network upgrades could speed up transfers, these are expensive approaches and
cannot be easily deployed in cloud, virtual or mobile environments.
