Tacit Networks announced today Ishared 3.0, a new version of Tacit's flagship WAFS solution for branch and remote office consolidation that includes ARC WAN Optimization Technology, a set of techniques to expedite data transfers between remote locations.
According to Tacit, ARC (acceleration, reduction and compression) WAN Optimization adds functionality such as TCP protocol acceleration, eliminating transfers of repeated data patterns, and data compression.
Among other new features, for example integrated support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, this new version of Ishared supports single appliance fail over and seamless switching to a secondary data center in case of failure.
The new features of Ishared 3.0 should be available to customers, at no additional cost, in April.
