Products and Technologies

Certeon delivers Application Intelligent Networking to global enterprises to dramatically accelerate distributed application response times over a WAN by 1000+ percent. Certeon's S-Series Application Acceleration Appliances effectively overcome the inherent issues that inhibit WAN acceleration such as limited bandwidth, high latency, packet loss, and network contention.

The benefits of Certeon to enterprise clients accessing distributed applications from remote branch offices include the following:

Speed-Accelerates your business

• Dramatic reduction in application response times
• Increased user productivity
• Faster deployment of collaborative environments and line-of-business applications

Security-Accelerates HTTPS (SSL) traffic

• Maintains security from the desktop to the data center
• Works within existing security infrastructure
• Historical data is encrypted on the S-Series

Scalability-Maximizes productivity and reduces costs

• Optimizes use of bandwidth
• Services more users/applications from the same infrastructure
• Supports centralization of computing assets

The Certeon solution is based on our patent-pending Secure Acceleration Technology (SAT) that accelerates all encrypted (HTTPS) and nonencrypted (HTTP) Web traffic from the desktop to the data center. SAT, with its Object Differencing Engine and Application Acceleration Blueprints, significantly improves application response times over a WAN by understanding specific application objects and application semantics. By adding this deep application intelligence to the network, Certeon dramatically reduces application response times.
