Office and Exchange Application Delivery Solutions

Microsoft Office is a complete set of desktop and server software designed to help streamline the way organizations and their people do business. Microsoft Exchange and Outlook have also become a de facto standard for distributed enterprise mail services over the Web. However, to successfully deploy enterprise-wide Web-based application services to geographically dispersed offices requires that WAN performance obstacles such as bandwidth limitations, high latency, and packet loss be overcome.

With the introduction of Microsoft Hyper-V, system managers will be looking to deploy these applications within a virtual operating system environment to reduce overall system and maintenance costs at data centers and branch offices.

Tell Me More

To meet both the cost savings and the performance needs of these distributed Microsoft application environments, Certeon has introduced aCelera, the first software-based application acceleration and WAN optimization solution. aCelera software runs as a virtual appliance and reduces the remote application response times of Office and Exchange by more than 95%. aCelera software is supported on virtual operating systems such as Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESX and ESXi and delivers a 95% reduction in application response time over the WAN.

Peformance

Certeon's aCelera accelerates the full range of protocols and file system formats employed by Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), and Exchange. Certeon's Application Acceleration Blueprints securely accelerate access to Office Open XML documents (including .docx, .xlsx, .pptx) and dynamically generated MOSS Web pages. Unlike other WAN optimization or application acceleration solutions, aCelera has a deep understanding of application objects, protocols, and network semantics. This knowledge combined with IP-based acceleration tokens is used to pre-fetch data objects before they are requested, compare object differences to determine changes in content, and transmit only data that has changed. The result is a dramatic reduction in the data that needs to be sent over a WAN, and turbocharged acceleration for applications. See Figures 1 and 2 below.

Accelerate Microsoft Office System Securely

Certeon accelerates all Microsoft applications securely; whether access is via HTTP or HTTPS (SSL), there is no difference in performance. Certeon's Secure Acceleration Technology doesn't require additional certificate or key management and never compromises security.

Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)

The Certeon Blueprint for Microsoft applications will also accelerate remote access to Microsoft's SMS family of systems management products and solutions. Reduce the response time in accessing SMS content over the WAN by more than 95% and accelerate your ability to manage your Microsoft environment.

Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)

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. aCelera software enables Microsoft App-V traffic to be de-duplicated and compressed, reducing application distribution times to remote branches by more than 95%.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) provides a cohesive management infrastructure for delivering, updating, and inventorying locally installed and virtualized applications to desktops throughout a distributed enterprise. aCelera software enables Microsoft SCCM traffic to be de-duplicated and compressed, reducing application distribution times to remote branches by more than 95%.
