Hipskind Delivers Flexible, Secure and Easy-to-Deploy Replication and Backup Services in the Cloud using Certeon’s aCeleraCerteon’s Virtual Appliance for Replication and Backup Optimization Combined with Hipskind’s Data Replication Service Gives Customers Fast, Secure and Cost Effective Data Backup
BURLINGTON, MA (October 11, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time )IT downtime is estimated to cost companies an average of $300,000 per hour. The huge cost of this downtime is driving companies to implement backup and replication services as part of their business continuity plan. Hipskind Technology Solutions Group, a U.S. Midwestern IT solutions provider, has combined its backup and replication cloud service– EquaSafe – with Certeon’s aCelera for replication and backup optimization to create the most flexible, secure and easily deployable replication and backup service in the cloud.
“By combing Certeon’s aCelera virtual appliances for EqualLogic replication and backup optimization with our EquaSafe cloud service , we’ve provided our customers with a simple and fast way to rollout backup and replication ,” said Wally Lang, general manager, Hipskind. “Before implementing aCelera, only 40 to 50 percent of our potential customers could use our EquaSafe service because of their slow network connections. Certeon’s aCelera helped optimize these network connections so effectively between customers’ primary data center and our secondary, disaster recovery site, that more than 90 percent of the potential market is now able to employ our cloud services.”

Area-Wide Technologies Joins Certeon’s Industry-Leading Partner Program, Adding Software WAN Optimization Technology to its Global Product OfferingBURLINGTON, MA (September 13, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ) -Certeon, the application performance company, today announced a reseller partnership with Area-Wide Technologies, an Illinois-based, full-service business solutions provider. The new partnership allows Area-Wide to resell Certeon’s software WAN optimization solution, aCelera, and offer its growing customer base the industry’s most flexible and complete WAN optimization solution, even compared to physical appliances, as well as a full suite of virtual appliances, installable Windows software and client software for laptops. The reseller partnership also allows Area-Wide to benefit from Certeon’s new partner program, launched in May, which guarantees a 20 percent margin for certified premier resellers.
For companies operating branch offices in remote locations, poor application access is a significant issue. Applications and files that are transferred more slowly across the WAN reduce productivity and prevent the deployment of other application services. Area-Wide found that many of its customers with users accessing centralized applications from remote locations were experiencing performance issues with their applications and services running over sluggish, latency-ridden connections. With Certeon’s aCelera platform, Area-Wide was not only able to turn its customers’ remote T1 lines into application-ready links, but it also opened other sales opportunities as a result of the platform’s ability to meet every use case enterprises encounter, including servers, mobile users, and even remote offices that only have Windows installed

Pluto Networks Joins Certeon’s Industry-Leading Partner Program, Solves International WAN Optimization Rollout Challenge for CustomersAbility to Meet Any Deployment Requirement for Customers with Global Offices and Innovative Partner Program Key to Solidifying Reseller Relationship
BURLINGTON, MA (August 23, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ) Certeon, the application performance company, today announced a reseller partnership with Pluto Networks, a worldwide leader in emerging technologies specializing in WAN acceleration, security, networking, voice and video. By adding Certeon’s WAN acceleration solution, aCelera, to its product portfolio, Pluto Networks is able to enhance its WAN offerings for businesses that require global application acceleration deployments due to the flexibility of the Certeon aCelera solution. Pluto is the most recent partner to join Certeon’s new partner program, launched in May, which guarantees a 20 percent minimum margin for certified premier resellers.
With businesses continuing to globalize, the majority of employees are now based in remote offices. Because these offices often employ latency-ridden network connections, the employees can experience slow application response times due to the amount of time it takes data to transfer across the WAN. Pluto Networks found that its customers with numerous offices wanted to deploy WAN optimization solutions to optimize their applications, but it was expensive and slow to ship and deploy the hardware-based WAN acceleration solutions. With Certeon’s aCelera platform, that challenge is solved because customers now have the choice of whether to deploy a physical appliance, a virtual appliance or even an installable Windows software in their remote offices

Design Worldwide Partnership (dwp) Selects Certeon to Replace Riverbed Hardware
Certeon Software Solution, aCelera, Delivers Improved Cost, Efficiency and Performance for Unparalleled Access to Corporate Data
BURLINGTON, MA (June 14, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ) - As server centralization combined with new data creation increases within, and potentially overwhelms, global enterprises, companies must prepare themselves for this surge in data and ensure they have a proper solution in place that provides better data access than the traditional, latency hampered Wide Area Network (WAN) links. One company recognizing and preparing for this challenge is Design Worldwide Partnership (dwp), an integrated global design company, which implemented Certeon software WAN optimization product, aCelera. The solution is providing the global employees unparalleled access to centralized corporate data, something that had once been considered strategic issue for the business.
dwp is using Certeon aCelera software to replace a hardware WAN optimization solution from Riverbed. As a hardware solution, dwp could not install Riverbed in some branch offices due to costly shipping and lengthy deployment and support times. With Certeon, however, dwp has been able to deploy application optimization to all its offices, even those that did not previously have a WAN optimization solution. With aCelera, dwp is now experiencing superior application performance of data sharing across sites, as well as increased performance of its cornerstone SharePoint Portal. The company has even removed its distributed file system (DFS) replication, as employees are now sharing data across sites live via WebDav.

BURLINGTON, MA (June 07, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ) - New data creation within global enterprises will increase at rates of more than 60 percent per year (IDC, 2010) for the remainder of this decade, yet over 90 percent of organization employees have to use latency hampered WAN links for accessing this new centralized data. Lawrence Pumps Inc., an industrial pump manufacturing leader for critical industrial services, recognized this user productivity challenge and selected Certeon software WAN optimization product, aCelera, to give the organization employees the ability to access their data as if it were on their desktops. aCelera is the linchpin solution for Lawrence Pumps growing data access issue.
Lawrence Pumps is using Certeon aCelera software to replace a hardware WAN optimization product from Citrix because Certeon is 25 percent less expensive and provides superior performance as a software solution. Also, Lawrence Pumps is licensing Certeon aCelera using an OpEx-budget based model, freeing them from traditional WAN optimization vendor pricing approaches that require large upfront CapEx expenditures associated with a perpetual license model.

New Program Puts Partner First, Provides Resellers with a Guaranteed Margin
BURLINGTON, MA (May 24, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ) - Certeon the application performance company. In a margin-based business, resellers are all too familiar with the promise of great margins from manufacturers, to only then have them fal flat due to competitive pressures.
