Certeon Adds Inet to Partner Program to Speed SharePoint Deployments in Central America.

BURLINGTON, Mass. -- Certeon, the industry's only vendor to securely accelerate mission-critical applications effectively, today announces the addition of Inet Consulting Services to its Partner Acceleration Program as a systems integrator. Inet's customers deploying Microsoft([R]) SharePoint([R]) will now benefit from the unique ability of Certeon's S-Series[TM] Application Acceleration Appliances to speed SharePoint access across the Wide Area Network (WAN).

Certeon's S-Series Appliances achieve unparalleled SharePoint acceleration by leveraging an embedded Application Acceleration Blueprint[TM] for Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). The Application Acceleration Blueprint relies on built-in knowledge of SharePoint application objects to turbo-charge response times across the WAN. The result for Inet customers is greater productivity and the ability to maximize existing infrastructure investments.

"Our customers rely on SharePoint as a key tool for information delivery and collaboration," said Ernesto Garay, an Inet systems infrastructure consultant in the business services division. "Information delivery and collaboration become significantly more difficult when the inherent limitations of the WAN are brought into play. The Certeon S-Series appliances are vital to enabling information delivery and collaboration across the extended enterprise."

Inet is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner that specializes in providing consulting services to add value to existing IT products or services. Inet is the premiere Microsoft consulting partner in the Central America region for SharePoint implementations. This provides a natural synergy with Certeon, as Certeon is the only application acceleration vendor to provide built-in knowledge of the application protocol specific to SharePoint and MOSS. As such, Certeon is able to achieve acceleration levels well-above the industry norm.

"At Certeon, we take a unique approach to application acceleration that enables our customers and partners to optimize the performance of collaborative infrastructures," said Peter Dougherty, president and CEO of Certeon. "Certeon's application acceleration solutions facilitate SharePoint and MOSS deployments and speed application response times for improved user productivity."

Certeon's S-Series appliances provide a cost-effective, high-performance solution that addresses the real-world problem of speeding information delivery and collaboration from multiple remote locations. Certeon offers three models of its Application Acceleration Appliances: the S-1000, S-2000 and S-3000, supporting small branch offices, regional offices and large data centers, respectively. In addition to the Application Acceleration Blueprints for MicrosoftSharePoint, Certeon also offers Blueprints for EMC([R]) Documentum([R]) and eRoom, 2007 Microsoft Office([TM]), MOSS 2007, Microsoft File Services (CIFS) and Office 2003, as well as UGS Solid Edge[TM]. Certeon's S-Series accelerates all WAN traffic, including encrypted SSL traffic, to ensure end-to-end data security and integrity.
