"Certeon's aCelera Virtual Appliance maximizes the performance benefits which Microsoft App-V and SCCM bring to these environments, while at the same time directly contributing to lower application management labor costs."
David Greschler, Director, Integrated Virtualization & Management Strategy, Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft App-V is an application virtualization technology within the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Microsoft App-V transforms applications into centrally managed services that are automatically delivered over the network to users, without installing the application on client systems. Although the ability to centralize virtual applications holds tremendous TCO-reducing value, delivering these applications in a distributed environment can create performance issues from inherent network performance inhibitors. Low bandwidth, high latency, limited throughput, and packet contention present challenges in overall delivery time and user experience:
To meet the cost savings, performance, and scalability needs of these distributed and virtualized application environments, Certeon has provided support for Microsoft App-V on its aCelera Virtual Appliance for Application Acceleration. Certeon aCelera creates a virtualized distribution infrastructure as an extension of a centralized Microsoft App-V solution. aCelera software enables Microsoft App-V traffic to be de-duplicated and compressed, reducing application distribution times to remote branches by more than 95 percent.

Certeon aCelera's capabilities deliver significant TCO-lowering benefits, including the following:
Overall IT capital and operations cost is dramatically lowered, as the overall SCCM infrastructure is transformed from complex servers in remote locations to simply configured, easily deployed and managed virtual appliances running as additional workloads on industry-standard servers.
