  Disaster Recovery – Physical vs. Virtual WAN Optimization - By Shawn Cooney, Co-founder, Certeon

  Certeon's aCelera Virtual Appliance for Application Acceleration software enables more efficient data replication and backup over the WAN. aCelera helps enterprises to quickly and efficiently recover their most valuable asset, their company data, in record time while reducing business continuity costs. Certeon understands the importance of reducing backup window times and network bandwidth consumption. With aCelera software, distributed enterprises can deploy industry-leading data protection solutions and deliver cost-efficient real-time performance to critical remote backup sites.

  Accelerated WAN-based backup and disaster recovery with Certeon's aCelera Sync

  By Deni Connor, principal analyst, Storage Strategies NOW

  Implementing data protection applications and disaster recovery across a wide-area network (WAN) can be fraught with obstacles such as latency, low bandwidth, network contention, out of order packets and packet loss that interfere with an organization's efforts to meet recovery time and recovery point objectives (RTO/RPO). This paper discusses how deploying WAN acceleration virtual appliances, that are specifically designed for data protection operations, is a better way to protect your data.

  aCelera WAN Optimization - Extreme Scalability for Application Acceleration

  Certeon compared the cost of aCelera WAN optimization and application acceleration software configured on an industry-standard server against like Riverbed Steelhead configurations based on the number of connections achieved and found a savings of more than 60% when deploying aCelera at the data center and in remote branch offices. aCelera software gives distributed enterprises 50% more connections for more than 60% less than the cost of a Riverbed Steelhead appliance.

  The Tolly Group – Certeon WAN Optimization Performance and Scalability Test Results

  The Tolly Group WAN optimization performance and scalability test results for Certeon's aCelera virtual appliance for application acceleration. The Tolly Group test results show that the aCelera virtual appliance can be implemented as a high performance application acceleration solution that can be scaled as needed, rather than a purpose built hardware appliance.
