Outlook / Exchange E-Mail

Microsoft Exchange and Outlook Email have become one of the most widely deployed communication applications in the world today. When Exchange servers are centralized in data centers and users located in remote locations access Exchange servers across a WAN, performance can suffer to the point that transactions take a long time to complete.

Certeon’s Microsoft Exchange and Outlook Solution

Certeon’s Application Acceleration Blueprints for Microsoft Exchange and Outlook significantly reduce application response times, enabling a more reliable, real-time, and high-performance remote access capability accessing data throughout the distributed enterprise.

With Certeon aCelera Virtual Appliances deployed on a hypervisor infrastructure such as VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V at both ends of a low bandwidth high latency connection, Exchange access can be made to perform with a response time that recaptures LAN performance.

aCelera accelerates Email traffic flow between centralized Exchange servers and remote Outlook users by minimizing network traffic, decreasing amount of traffic across the network by de-duplicating data, and reducing application chattiness. Certeon’s aCelera accelerates the full range of protocols and file system formats (MAPI) employed by Microsoft Exchange server 2003/2007/2010 and Outlook 2003/2007/2010. Certeon’s Application Acceleration Blueprints securely accelerate access to Office Open XML documents (including .docx, .xlsx, .pptx) and dynamically generated SharePoint Web pages. Certeon’s Application Acceleration Blueprints enable high acceleration through a native understanding of Microsoft Exchange underlying protocols as well as messaging semantics to reduce application response time and minimize traffic and chatter over the WAN. Certeon can accelerate Microsoft Exchange traffic securely from the data center to the desktop. Whether access is via HTTP or HTTPS (SSL), with Certeon there is no difference in application response times.

Performance Improvements

In performance tests where multiple file types and sizes were accessed over the WAN, aCelera enabled an average 95% improvement in remote access time reduction performance as shown in the chart below.

The demonstration of aCelera’s WAN optimization of Exchange and Outlook allows organizations to maximize their investment in Exchange and network infrastructure and to recapture performance without making significant new investments in infrastructure. See what can be achieved using Certeon aCelera’s WAN optimization technology for Exchange today: dramatically reduced mail delivery response times, faster replications, along with aCelera’s exceptional ability to scale to any level of performance.
