"The combined strength of the Certeon and Network Physics appliances will be very appealing to any company aiming to make collaboration across its worldwide offices a reality."
Gerry Carver, Principal Consultant of International Network Services
In an expanding global market, the demand for Web-based communication and collaboration across organizational and geographical boundaries is critical to a company's success. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) is becoming the foundation for distributed Web-based application delivery. However, successfully deploying enterprise-wide Web-based application delivery services and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) requires that WAN performance obstacles such as bandwidth limitations, high latency, packet loss, and network contention be overcome.
Certeon’s aCelera Virtual Appliance software with its unique Application Acceleration Blueprints for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) to mitigate Wan limitations in MOSS deployments, and significantly improve application delivery to end-users. The Certeon adds specific MOSS application intelligence to the network to overcome WAN limitations that can cause sluggish application responsiveness. Certeon delivers improved MOSS application response times better than any other network or application delivery optimization solution on the market today, enabling the fast and complete deployment of Web-based collaboration and SOA environments.
Certeon’s Application Acceleration Blueprints enable high acceleration through an understanding of underlying protocols and data object differences. Operating at Layer 7-the Application Layer of the OSI model-the Application Acceleration Blueprints are uniquely able to understand application interactions and identify application data objects in transit without modification to the application.
A unique Object Differencing Engine accurately identifies prior views of these data objects; the greater the accuracy of identification, the more efficient the differencing, and, therefore, the better the application acceleration. Furthermore, MOSS employs different techniques to pass arguments and data objects between the server and each Office application. With its application fluency, Certeon's understands how these elements are used and thus can make a more accurate identification of the application's data objects. Customers will be able to utilize these features as they upgrade to 2007 Office System and MOSS without sacrificing application performance over a WAN.
The result of using Certeon in your network is a dramatic reduction in the data that needs to be sent over a WAN and turbocharged acceleration for applications. In fact, according to a recent independent Tolly Report, Certeon's Application Acceleration Blueprints for SharePoint provided SharePoint users with up to 43 times better application response times.

Functioning at the application layer, Certeon has the unique ability to truly understand application semantics and utilize that understanding to transmit data more efficiently than anyone else. This efficiency enables the transmission of more application data without the need for more bandwidth. The Tolly Group found that by using the Certeon a WAN that supported only four users originally could now support more than 78 users without any degradation in response times.

Only Certeon can deliver end-to-end acceleration for MOSS traffic securely from the desktop to the data center. Whether access is via HTTP or HTTPS (SSL), with Certeon there is no difference in application response times. Certeon's Secure Application Networking doesn't require additional certificate or key management and never compromises security. Through a combination of end-to-end disk encryption, SSL (HTTPS), and IPSec, Certeon maintains encryption while accelerating MOSS traffic. With Certeon, enterprises can consolidate servers into centralized data centers without compromising the security or performance of the application services.
