About Asankya's RAPIDnet Application Delivery Network

Asankya's RAPIDnet is the premier Application Delivery Network service for secure, high-speed delivery of Internet-based applications. The breakthrough Asankya RAPID Protocol uses multiple pathways across the Internet to deliver up to 40x improvements in throughput while maintaining the security, availability and global consistency that today's applications require. This enables customers to take advantage of public cloud economics while preserving the secure, high-speed benefits of private dedicated networks.

Asankya's RAPIDnet is the only application delivery service that accelerates encrypted traffic, optimizes bi-directionally, and improves the performance of both TCP- and UDP-based applications. The RAPID Protocol, the cornerstone of Asankya's RAPIDnet, is a breakthrough parallel networking technology that solves transport inefficiencies inherent in TCP, increases throughput across the Internet by using multiple pathways, and reduces network load by removing duplicate packets. The research leading to RAPID was initially funded by the National Science Foundation, developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and first utilized by the U.S. Intelligence Community.
