SlipStream To Accelerate Mobile Enterprise Users
SlipStream SE Version 2.1 delivers fast and secure access to corporate data for mobile and branch office employees
Waterloo, Ontario - September 21, 2004 - SlipStream Data Inc. announced today the availability of SlipStream SE (Secure Enterprise) Version 2.1 - an extension of their leading compression technology that will dramatically accelerate access to emails, FTP and web-based applications over any network. SlipStream SE optimizes corporate network bandwidth and improves the performance of corporate applications by up to six times, while supporting VPN and SSL security.
"Corporations are always looking for new ways to improve the speed, use and productivity of their intranets, VPNs and web-based applications that provide access to critical information," said Ron Neumann, president of SlipStream Data Inc. "This latest version of our compression software helps enterprise users "unleash" the potential of their applications and make the most of network bandwidth capacity. SlipStream SE also delivers significant cost savings across the enterprise, particularly as the reduced amount of data decreases wireless communication costs."
SlipStream SE improves access to email and the performance of web-based applications such as CRM (customer relationship management), sales force automation and field services, while providing the fastest secure access for mobile and remote users where bandwidth resources are scarce. Using SlipStream SE, employees can access critical information from anywhere using any type of network, including dial-up, wireless (CDMA, GPRS, 1X, etc.), satellite or broadband (DSL, cable or WAN) networks.
SlipStream SE Version 2.1 delivers the following features:
Superior Web Acceleration and Compression - up to 40X compression for text-based content and up to 98% reduction in data
Email & FTP Acceleration - lossless compression is applied to both messages and attachments
Communication Costs Savings - achieved through time savings, reduction of data and more efficient use of existing systems
Infrastructure Savings - achieved through reduced bandwidth requirements, which avoids costly and timely delays of network upgrades and/or replacement
Increased Productivity - achieved through quick and easy installation and reduced time to access critical information and make decisions
Increased Profits for Corporations and Channel Partners - this value-added service offering for ASPs and VARs delivers incremental revenue opportunities through new users and premium pricing
"Using an acceleration and compression solution, such as SlipStream SE, can give corporations a cost-effective means of extending applications out into the field without the need for costly redevelopment," said Mark Quigley, research director for the Yankee Group. "Enterprise applications, which were once tied to the desktop, can now be effectively accessed from mobile devices such as laptops and PDAs. This is a significant achievement because access to vital corporate information isn't thwarted by location or limited network bandwidth requirements."
SlipStream's patented, proprietary compression technology has become the defacto standard in the accelerated dial-up market, with over 900 ISPs and telecommunications providers around the world deploying SlipStream SP. SlipStream's latest offering also gives these service providers a means of increasing revenues and growing their business into the corporate and wireless markets.
SlipStream is actively signing up channel partners in the ISP, Corporate and Wireless markets and is sourcing alliance opportunities to embed its core technology in complementary hardware and software solutions that address critical business needs.
