A WAN link can significantly slow down data backup and replication processes between data centers and remote replication sites. Certeon’s aCelera Sync software, in conjunction with Dell EqualLogic SANs, enable more efficient and scalable data backup and replication over the WAN. aCelera Sync mitigates the effect of chatty protocols that are often associated with long backup windows by reducing the amount of traffic and round trips going over the WAN. It implements more efficient byte-level data differencing and reduction over the WAN and scales along with the storage capacity of EqualLogic SANs. aCelera Sync is non-disruptive to existing business continuity applications and enables more frequent backup and replication. With aCelera Sync, enterprises can deploy Dell EqualLogic PS Series SAN solutions and deliver cost-efficient, real-time performance without adding expensive network bandwidth

Along with the EqualLogic PS Series, aCelera Sync is flexible and easily deployed, allowing for storage growth without costly application disruptions or onsite service calls. aCelera Sync and EqualLogic SANs provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The figure below2 shows how aCelera Sync can be deployed in the data center and a remote replication site with EqualLogic SANs.

aCelera Sync software installs seamlessly in an EqualLogic business continuity environment, significantly reducing backup and replication times and lowering network bandwidth requirements. aCelera Sync and EqualLogic SANs work together in a virtual infrastructure, providing enterprises with a scalable solution that delivers significantly optimized backup and replication performance across the WAN. aCelera Sync, with EqualLogic SANs, enables enterprises to accelerate their ROI, as well as deliver better backup and replication performance that scales along with storage capacity.

aCelera Sync software is more cost-effective than proprietary WAN optimization hardware appliances, saving IT capital and operations costs. aCelera Sync can save IT managers up to 60% in TCO when compared with hardware appliances. IT managers will realize these cost savings in a number of ways, from their initial investment in the aCelera Sync solutions to operations savings from managing complex, distributed business continuity environments. Certeon’s aCelera Sync virtual appliance software works in concert with the Dell EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI storage arrays to enable high performance, scalable, and cost-efficient business continuity environments.
