End II End Communications Offers Innovative Technology that Enables Enterprise Applications to Work over Satellite in an IPSec VPN

CHARLOTTE, N.C., February 3, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — End II End Communications has developed an innovative patent-pending technology that enables enterprise applications to work over satellite, in an IPSec VPN, at full service speeds. 

In addition, End II End has another patent that is being reviewed that eliminates the reliance on the master/slave relationship in a network by establishing a peer to peer communication amongst the remotes using distributed databases.

This breakthrough makes the entire network intelligently “all knowing” and enables enterprises to be able to more effectively scale its networks, according to Doug Triblehorn, End II End’s VP of sales.

“While acceleration technologies work well in enhancing ftp and web-based applications, they have not been able to solve the problems that businesses have faced in running their critical business software applications, (Citrix, Lotus Notes, Oracle, MS Office, MS Exchange, other proprietary applications, etc.) over satellite,” said Triblehorn.

End II End said the product is extremely simple to configure, install, manage and update. Because it is software-based, it replaces all the costly appliances (router, firewall, vpn, ids…), which means that it not only saves considerable money, but negates the need to individually address each of the units when reconfiguration (of firewalls, for example) is required. The initial installation takes only eight minutes and updates/patches are done from the gateway over satellite, remotely to all of the remote office locations.

The software also requires very little processing power and hard drive space. End II End’s largest customers – BASF – the company said, resurrected older generation P3 computers that were in storage and are currently using it as their appliance for the application. The company claims BASF, National Gypsum, Jordache, M.A. Mortenson and others as among some of their satisfied customers.

“We are hardware agnostic, having been extensively evaluated by a number of customers with all modem technologies -- including iDirect, Viasat, Spacenet, Tachyon and Shiron --, all with excellent results,” said Triblehor. “In iDirect’s case, we have been certified in its IP Alliance. The technology works at Level 3 and is fully interoperable with the engrained terrestrial router solutions (Cisco, Juniper, Watchguard, etc.) which empowers enterprises to uses satellite as an extension of its existing terrestrial-based WAN or as a seamless disaster recovery business continuity/failover solution,” added Triblehorn.
