"Backup and recovery is critical to running our oil and gas pressure control and prevention business, requiring us to continuously backup data in a constant stream. Our current network optimization environment was not transmitting the data between our Houston data center and Austin recovery site fast enough and we were requiring more and more network bandwidth to get the job done. Certeon’s expert team came to us with its aCelera Sync virtual appliance software and presented us with a far superior solution for our backup and recovery infrastructure."

"aCelera proved to be leaps and bounds ahead of the optimization products we were using which were incapable of delivering the performance we saw with aCelera. We gained an up to 90% reduction in network bandwidth consumption and data backup time between our Dell EqualLogic SANs. As a virtual appliance, aCelera was easy and fast to install and provision at both data center and remote recovery sites. In addition, everyone that I had the pleasure to work with from Certeon did an outstanding job. Moving forward Certeon will be our only backup and recovery optimization vendor."

aCelera Sync Backup and Replication

When deploying business continuity (BC) capabilities over a wide area network (WAN), data backup and replication processes among data centers, branches, and replication sites can be significantly slowed down. Low bandwidth, high latency, network contention, and packet loss can interfere with an enterprise's ability to quickly and efficiently achieve recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) goals.

Are you experiencing?

  • Long backup windows — slow backup and replication over the WAN
  • Time-consuming incremental backups
  • Lost productivity waiting for full data restores
  • Costly network bandwidth consumption
  • Increasing IT costs from powering, cooling, and maintaining multiple hardware appliances

With Certeon's aCelera you can:

  • Decrease remote backup and replication times by up to 97%
  • Dramatically improve RTO and RPO
  • Increase backup frequency
  • Decrease network bandwidth requirements by more than 95%
  • Optimize backup and replication environments and reduce costs

Certeon's aCelera Sync Virtual Appliance

Certeon's aCelera Sync Virtual Appliance for Application Acceleration software enables more efficient data replication and backup over the WAN. aCelera helps enterprises to quickly and efficiently recover their most valuable asset, their company data, in record time while reducing BC costs. Certeon understands the importance of reducing backup window times and network bandwidth consumption. With aCelera software, distributed enterprises can deploy industry-leading data protection solutions and deliver cost-efficient real-time performance to critical remote backup sites. aCelera software is symmetrically deployed at the data center, remote offices, and mirrored sites. aCelera can also be configured to support high-availability (HA) environments commonly found in BC infrastructures.

Performance Results

In performance tests of specific business continuity applications, aCelera reduced full data replication times by up to 97%. Incremental replication times were decreased by up to 94%. Results will vary depending on the backup and replication application. aCelera also decreases network bandwidth requirements by more than 95%, saving on costly purchases of incremental bandwidth.

Replication Window Time Reduction

Lower Bandwidth Requirements

In some cases, data is being backed-up continuously. For those environments, you need a backup and replication solution that can handle large amounts of sustained data flows without bringing down your network. In the example below, 69 GB of data was being backed up from Dell EqualLogic SANs over a 10 MB network with 60 ms latency. With aCelera Sync, the network bandwidth consumption was reduced from 69 GB to 7.2 GB, a 90% reduction. aCelera Sync enables large amounts of data to be continuously replicated faster, with the lowest network bandwidth requirement.

90% Reduction in Network Bandwidth Requirements

Cost Savings

aCelera software is more cost efficient than is proprietary hardware appliances, saving IT capital, network bandwidth, and operations costs. aCelera software can save IT managers up to 60% in total cost of ownership when compared to hardware appliances.
