WAN and application acceleration in a virtual server
Accelerating WAN and applications across the WAN are not new concepts but running the accelerators in a virtual server is very different to the traditional, appliance based approach.
Certeon's approach to the market is attractive to all organisations that have issues with WAN performance and applications that degrade when running across the WAN due to a combination of speed and latency. Because it runs in a virtual environment (VMware's ESX Server or Microsoft's HyperV) the solution is immediately more attractive in terms of deployment costs, running costs and availability. The added bonus comes in the form of a single computer client, so now you can accelerate the performance between office and remote users whether they are on laptop or desktop.
is the application acceleration software that runs in a virtual machine, delivering performance improvements similar to that of its appliance based rivals. The great benefit of running in a virtual environment is that the software inherits the many advantages of the virtual environment such as ease of provisioning through, for instance, Microsoft's System Center Virtual Manager or VMware VirtualCenter.
Here's a quick peek at the architecture:
