HYPERTUNNEL

Computer hardware and computer software programs for high speed WAN encapsulation technology and tunneling aggregated LAN and SAN traffic between remote server groups enabling applications to extend between data centers Key technology pillar used in the ASE product. - Refers to the ability of the ASE to encapsulate a datagram including ingress source and destination (customer) addresses with either a standard IPV4 header or Layer 2 Ethernet header. - These headers allow the datagram to be routed or switched through any standard IP or Layer 2 Ethernet network without terminating protocols. This allows the ASE to tunnel any protocol or traffic transparently through routed or switched networks. - The term Hyper refers to the rate of processing achieved by the ASE, meaning the ASE performs functions at gigabit rates
