Mission Leader in Virtualized Application Acceleration LAN-like application performance over WAN
aCelera First and only virtual appliance for application acceleration Accelerates all WAN traffic (HTTP/S; CIFS; MAPI; TCP; FTP) Optimizes mission critical traffic (e.g. SharePoint) Technology: Patented “Blueprints” and Object Differencing
Blueprints (specific functionality) for Microsoft MOSS/SharePoint Microsoft Office 2007 (Project, Visio, Forms) Microsoft Exchange (MAPI) IBM Rational Suite File transfers (CIFS) Web parts, XML and ASP.NET; Web Services (Excel, Forms, other) EMC Documentum SAP NetWeaver Siemens Teamcenter, Insight, and Solid Edge (CAD/CAM)
Benefits Software only Improve performance of applications over latent/low bandwidth by 90% Lower TCO by 50-80% by reducing number of servers Ultimate flexibility and scalability of Virtualization
Problem Centralized deployment desired
▪ SharePoint taking a long time to open▪ Uploads, Downloads and Saves are slow▪ Slow Intranet page renders
Options Considered Data center offload devices Generic packet based accelerator Certeon Application Accelerator
Solution Certeon at Microsoft Data Center and Energizer branches Full deployment: 120 countries worldwide

Hardware
Application Acceleration Virtual Appliance
Software for application acceleration
Deployed as a virtual machine application▪ VMware or Hyper-V
No proprietary special purpose hardware▪ No servers to ship and install▪ No fixed hardware resources▪ No underutilized server resources
95% application response time reduction across a WAN Increases application usage Increases user productivity
Reduced Cost 60% lower TCO than proprietary WAN acceleration appliances Efficient use of server hardware resources
Flexible Provision acceleration when and where needed
Scalable Add processing power as needed
Manageable Use VMware or Hyper-V Tools
Branch Data Center
WAN
Virtual appliance in data center and in branch offices
No client, server, or application configurations required Not a proxy cache; not replication based
Origin server always accessed Upstream and downstream acceleration
1.Remote office requests file from data center
2.aCelera compares data request with previously seen data
3. aCelera fetches only new data required and merges it with previous data

Application Acceleration BlueprintsTM
Embedded logic that enhances acceleration ▪ Provides application specific intelligence and processing▪ Understands application semantics
Object Differencing Engine (ODE) Technology to eliminate transmission of redundant content Whole object differencing (MB vs KB)
▪ Whole object is understood through the Blueprint and differenced Predictive pre-loading
▪ Accurate response prediction via pattern matching▪ Pre-fetch from history store; Data ready in memory for fast delivery
Results Highest level of data reduction Fewer round trips, reduced network traffic Reduced response times
