IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Synoptek, an
Equinix Gold Managed Service Provider partner, today announced the
first ever Managed Performance Hub. The unique solution enables
secure, private and reliable connections to network and cloud
providers, providing globally consistent security and quality of
experience while significantly reducing total cost of
ownership.
The solution was developed to address the needs of organizations
struggling to maintain the highest level of network performance and
quality of service for global users. The solution is built
exclusively on Equinix world-class International Business Exchange™
(IBX®) data centers that offer Equinix Cloud Exchange™ and Internet
Exchange™. Synoptek provides all of the hardware for routing,
switching and security. For an affordable monthly fee, Synoptek
provides both professional services and/or ongoing 24×7 US-based
managed services (including remediation and change management).
Managed Performance Hub Brings the Cloud in Reach for the
Enterprise
The Performance Hub advantages are significant, enterprises can
effortlessly move to the cloud thanks to easy private cloud
deployment, secure and direct connectivity to public clouds, and a
seamless way to create a hybrid cloud foundation. The Performance
Hub is an extension of a company's existing network into an Equinix
data center. It allows an enterprise to connect its wide area
network or private cloud to the Equinix network, where it can
directly connect to the public cloud. The result is robust,
optimized and geographically-distributed networks that prepare the
enterprise network for future growth.
Realized Performance Improvements
Performance Hub solution benchmarking has shown significant
improvement in performance across metro (coast-to-coast) scenarios
including:
- 50 percent improvement in http-load tests for web-based
applications
- Greater than 40 percent improvement on file transfers for
Microsoft Sharepoint®
- 40 percent improvement on Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
launch times
- Reduced jitter and latency for video streaming
applications
For applications hosted on public cloud infrastructure,
benchmarking showed:
- 30 percent improvement in page-load tests for web-based
applications, if consumed via Performance Hub with direct
connectivity to public cloud infrastructure vs. Internet
connectivity
- 100x improvement in data transfers for data-replication
applications such as Oracle® Data Guard
