December 16, 2008 - Why WLAN/WAN, WAN optimization spending will increase during bad economic times
Last time, we discussed which IT initiatives we believed would experience the biggest budget increases in 2009. We based that on our surveys of two separate audiences - one primarily made up of U.S. IT execs and the other of European IT execs. The infrastructure initiative that is likely to experience the greatest increase in funding is virtualization, followed by wireless LAN/WANs and WAN optimization. The driver for growth in WLAN/WAN is mobility and the driver for WAN optimization is cost avoidance.

December 8, 2008 - Certeon: Where Virtualization is Headed in 2009
What do virtualization executives think about 2009? A VMBlog.com Series Exclusive.
Contributed by Shawn Cooney, Co-Founder and Director of Research, Certeon
The dynamic enterprise has long been sought after by IT managers. But until recently, legacy system sprawl has prevented the truly dynamic enterprise to take hold. Because vendors hawking proprietary appliances had so much invested in the game, they continued to churn out products that only added to the system sprawl and increased vendor lock-in. This situation created a complex mesh of enterprise technologies that were expensive to build and were not delivering true business value. With the emergence of virtualization, the promises of the dynamic enterprise are within reach, but only if the market continues to move forward and extend virtualization beyond the data center server. The year 2008 was heavily focused on virtualizing data centers all over the world-which resulted in big savings, and a solid foundation for the next stage of the enterprise. But this foundation, while an important start, won't make today's enterprise as dynamic as it could be until virtualization technologies extend well beyond the parameters of the datacenter.
December 4, 2008 - Predicting the Future
Prediction: Virtualization Breaks Datacenter Boundaries and Provides a Fluid Resource for Global Workers
By Shawn Cooney
Through 2008, the focus of most virtualization technology and virtualization projects has been directed at the more than one hundred thousand datacenters that exist around the globe. Virtualization magic applied to datacenters produced 3X to 20X consolidation ratios maximizing CPU, memory and storage utilization. This Virtualization 1.0 result represents both huge savings and a great foundation for a next generation dynamic enterprise. This foundation step, however, will not deliver on the vision of a dynamic enterprise until virtualization technologies break out of the bounds of the datacenter.

October 27, 2008 - ROI potential keeps WAN optimization projects on the table
In the last newsletter I wrote about quarterly results reported by F5 Networks, Citrix Systems and Riverbed Technology. But quarterly results don't tell the whole story - particularly when the economy has changed so dramatically in the few weeks following the close of the last calendar-year quarter on Sept. 30.
To learn more about how WAN optimization and application acceleration projects are faring in today's economic environment, I asked readers to share their opinions on which IT projects take priority in a budget-constrained environment. A handful of IT suppliers responded with their take on customers' spending plans, as well as the attributes of WAN optimization technologies that are helping to insulate vendors from spending slowdowns...
September 22, 2008 - Large Enterprise SharePoint(MOSS) deployment
MOSS has highly configurable and flexible architecture that can easily accommodate some of most challenging collaboration requirements in large enterprises. One of the biggest benefits to leveraging MOSS as opposed to developing your own architecture for portal/collaboration solutions is the prepackaged saleable design of MOSS that you get out of the box. However as with many large enterprises one of the more complex design choices is on how to make the collaboration solution available to its geographically distributed workforce. Broadly the choices would be to either adopt one of the following options

August 8, 2008 - Going Virtual: Certeon Accelerates Wide-Area Application Access
What are the biggest IT-related issues facing today's small to midsized enterprise?
As company locations and workforces are becoming highly distributed, IT is looking to control budget costs and infrastructure management by consolidating servers, applications, and data, often through the use of virtualization.
"Centralizing IT means that more and more remote workers have to access applications over wide-area connections, and the more they do, the more they run into congestion, latency, and bandwidth constraints," says Taube. "Large files such as CAD/CAM drawings can take minutes, even hours, to be moved, slowing work turnaround, and wide-area access can also slow down the lookup time for online interactive activity."
August 2, 2008 - Certeon's virtual appliance provides application acceleration

June 3, 2008 - Certeon draws on the advantages of virtualized WTO software over hardware
Certeon has released its new aCelera software. The company refers to the aCelera products as 'virtual appliances.' In other words, rather than being sold in the form of appliances where the software is pre-installed on more or less proprietary hardware, aCelera products are downloadable. The 'virtual' in 'virtual appliance' is a backhanded reference to the rise of virtual servers and the flexibility virtualization gives software to share server resources or combine multiple servers for efficiency, high availability, load balancing and enhanced management. Virtualized environments support painless, nearly instantaneous software deployment. Hardware appliances, on the other hand, require shipping and physical handling that can be time-consuming and difficult to synchronize.
June 2, 2008 - Losing the Hardware
In a small victory in the war against data center clutter, Burlington, Mass.-based Certeon Inc. is dropping its Linux-based hardware appliance. It will now accelerate WAN apps with aCelera, a virtual machine.
Another plus of going all-software is price. Certeon's S-Series appliances started at $6,000, whereas an aCelera VM starts at $2,495.
And the performance difference is negligible, according to Gareth Taube, vice president of marketing.
May 23, 2008 - CTO Buccella brings deep experience to Certeon

By and large, customers are screaming for more simplicity across the board when it comes to application acceleration.
March 23, 2008 - Optimizing the WAN for SharePoint
The days of the centralized corporate workforce are waning. In a recent briefing, Gareth Taube, Vice President of Marketing for Certeon (www.certeon.com), said that there's evidence that more than 60 percent of employees of major corporations are located outside of corporate headquarters. As businesses become more and more decentralized, they must learn to meet the challenges of supporting globally distributed workforces. Unfortunately, most companies have taken applications that were originally designed to run on a LAN and made them accessible to remote workers. "When you do that, the WAN gets in the way," said Taube. "Networks are usually bandwith-constrained, they have lots of latency, and they have lots of packet loss. Large documents can take minutes instead of seconds to move across the WAN, and that's painful. So people tend to replicate files and store them locally, which defeats the purpose of having a Web tool environment and tools such as SharePoint for collaboration."
