Certeon Announces aCelera Application Acceleration Virtual Appliance Support for VMware vSphere™

aCelera Software Works with VMware to Further Next-Generation Computing and Enable Customers to Benefit from the Cloud OS

Certeon Inc., the first and only provider to deliver a VMware certified virtual appliance for application acceleration, today announced its aCelera Virtual Appliance for Application Acceleration supports VMware vSphere™. Launched today, VMware vSphere is the industry’s first cloud operating system, transforming data centers into dramatically simplified cloud infrastructures, and enabling the next generation of flexible, reliable IT services. VMware vSphere provides customers greater control, efficiency and choice.

By supporting VMware vSphere, Certeon can further extend the value of its aCelera software into next-generation data centers and enable the deployment of large collections of infrastructure — including CPUs, storage and networking, applications, and management — as a seamless, flexible and dynamic cloud environment. As globally distributed enterprises expand into cloud computing, the load on the network will be heavier than ever. Certeon’s aCelera, within a VMware vSphere infrastructure, reduces the response time of virtualized applications by up to 95 percent. The infrastructure supporting the cloud must be virtualized in order to take advantage of the rapid and flexible deployment options that are required for cloud management.

With aCelera, IT managers can save as much as 60 percent in total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared to proprietary hardware appliances. aCelera enables distributed enterprises to realize a faster return on investment (ROI) when deploying virtualized infrastructures by reducing capital and operational costs and increasing user productivity. aCelera leverages the expanded benefits of VMware’s evolutionary platform and facilitates easier deployment and application optimization across globally distributed enterprise and cloud environments, delivering the best possible user experience.

“We are pleased that Certeon is taking the next step to helping provide customers with a more flexible, reliable, and scalable computing environment,” said Bernie Mills, senior director, alliance programs, VMware. “By supporting VMware vSphere, our partners can further enable increased performance, efficiency, control, and choice for customers.”

“Since the introduction of aCelera software, the first and only VMware certified virtual appliance for application acceleration, Certeon has been delivering high performance and scalable solutions to VMware customers who are deploying large-scale virtualized infrastructures and next generation cloud computing environments,” said Peter Dougherty, co-founder and CEO, Certeon Inc. “We are excited to support VMware vSphere and employ our aCelera solution into cloud computing environments where distributed enterprise users can increase their productivity, reduce their TCO and realize a greater ROI from their virtualized infrastructures.”
