Infineta Systems was a privately held firm established in California in 2008, concentrating on WAN optimization solutions designed for high-performance networks with sensitivity to latency. The company asserted that its technology could deliver application data transfer rates surpassing the standard link capacity. By February 2013, Infineta had discontinued its operations, and its product lineup was subsequently withdrawn. Certain assets of Infineta were acquired by Riverbed Technology through the liquidation process.
Company
Infineta was founded in 2008 by CEO Raj Kanaya and CTO K.V.S. Ramarao, with a mission to create scalable hardware and algorithms that address the computational challenges inherent in network data compression. The enterprise, headquartered in San Jose, California, had six patents pending and secured $30 million in funding across two venture capital rounds from Alloy Ventures, North Bridge Venture Partners, and Rembrandt Venture Partners.
Products
The company introduced the Data Mobility Switch (DMS) in June 2011, marking the industry's first WAN optimization device capable of achieving throughput at 10 Gbit/s. This product utilized FPGA-based hardware combined with a multi-Gigabit switching fabric to reduce latency and employed compression methods akin to data deduplication.
The DMS specifically targeted TCP performance issues prevalent on long fat networks (LFNs), allowing data transmission rates to near WAN bandwidth capacity even when data reduction techniques were not applicable. For instance, transferring a 2.5 GB file over a 1 Gbit/s connection using conventional TCP configurations would typically require around 20 minutes; however, with the DMS, this duration was cut down to roughly 20 seconds, effectively optimizing throughput despite inherent network delays.
