Accelerating Mobile Users

In an age of increasing globalization many people no longer work out of an office; many users are mobile and access their data on the go. Telecommuters, home office workers, off-shore and out-sourced staff all require the ability to connect to resources from any location. However, the last mile of the network connection to the user is what hinders an effective end-user experience.

These connections are characterized by:

• Limited bandwidth; these connections often have metered plans that are very costly
• High latencies and slow response times

The result is that remote users are not as productive as they would be on a LAN and can spend an unacceptable amount of time waiting for their data to download.

While WAN optimization appliances can significantly reduce network congestion and mitigate the effects of latency, they may not be a cost effective solution for a single remote user; nor may they be practical for the mobile user. What is needed is a WAN optimization solution that can scale from an end-user’s machine to networks of any size and is capable of supporting the needs of the largest enterprise’s thousands of mobile users.

The aCelera Mobile Client software has a small footprint and is optimized for Windows 32 - and 64-bit operating systems. The Mobile Client offers all the optimization techniques common to the aCelera family and accelerates traffic to any aCelera VA virtual appliance at the corporate data center or cloud provider. The High Capacity Proxy and Single Instance Store architecture that allow the aCelera VA to scale to support thousands of users is applied to an end-users mobile device. Mobile systems are easily managed within the free GUI based aCelera Central Management System (CMS) utility.

The benefits you obtain from the aCelera Mobile Client are both instantaneous and measurable. Users typically find that:

• They reduce their bandwidth consumption by between 65 – 90%.
• They can experience LAN-like performance from a connection anywhere in the world
• Applications can access files up to 20 times the speed they previously could providing instant access to important information.
• The aCelera Mobile Client provides a nearly instant payback in network costs, typically in only a few months.

The end result of aCelera Mobile Client installations are that your mobile users are more productive, have a better everyday computing experience; and that your organization will achieve a significant Return on Investment (ROI) from these benefits through unnecessary network cost avoidance.
