So What is the NetFury Internet Accelerator about?
By Simon Wharton | March 29, 2007
The first post in a blog is always the hardest. How do I set the tone for this blog? What should that tone be? Can someone else set the ball rolling? Well, it's up to me. The first thing to to understand is the purpose of this blog. It's to document the development of the NetFury Internet Accelerator and to engage with clients and resellers throughout the UK. We want your feedback. We want to know if it does the job we intend it to do or if it doesn't. Is something broken? Is something just plain wrong? We'd like to know and to be able to deal with it openly. Rules for the blog are pretty minimal and hopefully clear. We'll be straight up. Any contributers/commenters should be straight up as well. No flaming. Respect. We'll take the route of moderation of course but there will be no censorship. If you've come across this blog and you don't know what a NetFury Internet Accelerator is, then in brief, it's an application that can be loaded onto a PC and will redirect data you request from the web via our servers, compress that data and then feed it to you in what we think is a logical sequence. This gives an apparent increase in speed of connection and considerably reduces the amount of data you receive. I'll save a better description for someone a little more technical than me You should know that we don't build this product. In the US it's known as Propel, a lovely bunch of people based out in San Jose. NetFury has the UK rights for the product. NetFury itself is made up as a separate business run by a couple of organisations that run a number of ISP brands in the UK. I myself am a Director of VirtuAffinity who run the following ISP brands:
Our colleagues, business VoIP providers PackNet, also run a few brands, most predominantly
We think this is a nice fit. Propel develop the product, we deliver it in the UK to our client base and also via affiliates. We also support it locally. Propel, PackNet and ourselves will be contributing to this blog so you'll have access to everybody within the organisation. That's probably enough from me
