Virtualized WAN Optimization – The Road to Cloud Computing

Virtualization delivers compelling business value today, such as improving availability of servers, enabling application scalability, and reducing costs across the board. It is also the critical component to delivering on the promises of dynamic IT and cloud computing. But making cloud computing a reality requires an efficient and effective network. This white paper discusses how the combination of virtualization, WAN optimization and application acceleration provide the foundations of cloud computing.

Accelerated WAN-based backup and disaster recovery with Certeon's aCelera Sync

aCelera Virtual Appliance for Application Acceleration Architecture

By Deni Connor, principal analyst, Storage Strategies NOW, October 2009

Implementing data protection applications and disaster recovery across a wide-area network (WAN) can be fraught with obstacles such as latency, low bandwidth, network contention, out of order packets and packet loss that interfere with an organization’s efforts to meet recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO). This paper discusses how deploying WAN acceleration virtual appliances, that are specifically designed for data protection operations, is a better way to protect your data.

aCelera/Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Evaluation: Global Media Company

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Evaluation: Global Media Company

Certeon’s aCelera software is a critical component within an enterprise's infrastructure, whether it is adopting virtualization or maintaining more traditional distributed computing environments. In this evaluation of aCelera and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server at a global media company, aCelera’s economic benefits could potentially save the company an estimate of $359,372 to $7,671,084 million in the first year of production. This is a savings in not only capital and operational equipment, but in measured productivity, a metric that should not be unvalued within enterprises which want to maintain a competitive advantage.

Securely Accelerating Data Access within the Distributed Environment

Securely Accelerating Today's Web-based Business

Authored by Shawn Cooney, Founder and Director of Research, Certeon Inc.

Accelerated access to confidential information within a distributed enterprise should create no greater risk than accelerated access to nonsecure information, and should carry equal protection. However, lines have been drawn between the performance and security levels of the data center and the remote branch office, making the distributed enterprise a major battleground when it comes to providing unified high-performance access and risk management for mission critical data. With more and more information being accessed by remote office workers and an increased focus on enterprise risk management by corporate compliance and governance initiatives, enterprises need an "application intelligent" wide area network (WAN) infrastructure to address both the performance and security issues behind data access. This white paper discusses how distributed enterprises can seamlessly deploy a high-performance, secure, and compliant application intelligent WAN infrastructure.

Accelerating Access to Enterprise Files over a WAN

Accelerating Access to Enterprise Files over a WAN

This paper explores common methodologies used in today's distributed enterprise environments to provide access to these shared files. Legacy file protocols, such as CIFS, as well as emerging HTTP-based technologies will be discussed. This paper will then discuss key technologies that are coming into play for accelerating shared access to files across the WAN and, specifically, how Certeon has uniquely implemented these technologies within its aCelera Virtual Appliance software to realize significant gains in file access performance.
