Certeon Announces Support for Microsoft's App-V and System Center Configuration Manager through Microsoft Hyper-V.Certeon's aCelera Optimizes Microsoft System Center's Deployment and Management of Applications throughout Large Distributed Enterprises LAS VEGAS Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. -- Certeon Inc., a Microsoft Certified Partner, announced today a new Application Acceleration Blueprint[TM] for both Microsoft Application Virtualization A smaller umbrella term within the larger umbrella term of "virtualization." It refers to several techniques that make running applications more protected, more flexible or easier to manage. See virtualization, network virtualization and storage virtualization. (App-V) 4.5 and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 (SCCM SCCM Society of Critical Care Medicine SCCM System Center Configuration Manager (Microsoft) SCCM Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute SCCM Software Change and Configuration Management SCCM South Carolina Columbia Mission ) on its aCelera Virtual Appliance An operating system and application designed for a virtual machine (VM) environment. The virtual appliance is packaged as a pre-installed system image for the particular hardware environment it is intended for, such as VMware, Xen or Microsoft's Virtual Server. for Application Acceleration. aCelera significantly reduces the time to deployment and simplifies the management of locally installed and virtualized desktop applications for distributed users across an enterprise. aCelera delivers these capabilities as a virtualized appliance See virtual appliance. running on Microsoft Hyper-V and managed through Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) forms part of Microsoft's System Center line of management and reporting tools, alongside previously established tools such as Microsoft Operations Manager and Microsoft Systems Management Server. (SCVMM SCVMM System Center Virtual Machine Manager (Microsoft) ). With this announcement of Certeon's Application Acceleration Blueprints[TM] for Microsoft App-V and SCCM, aCelera now optimizes and accelerates Microsoft application distribution and software configuration management environments. Microsoft Application Management Infrastructure Microsoft App-V is an application virtualization technology within the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack which has sold over 14.1 million licenses. Microsoft App-V transforms applications into centrally managed services An umbrella term for third-party monitoring and maintaining of computers, networks and software. The actual equipment may be inhouse or at the third-party's facilities, but the "managed" implies an ongoing effort; for example, making sure the equipment is running at a certain quality that are automatically delivered over the network to users, without installing the application on client systems. SCCM works with the MDOP MDOP Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance MDOP Malicious Destruction Of Property MDOP Mapping Dilution of Precision suite of products to comprehensively assess, deploy, and update applications for servers and clients. Certeon aCelera optimizes Microsoft App-V and SCCM by allowing branch servers to be consolidated into an easily configured virtual appliance and dramatically reducing the amount of traffic needed to be transmitted over the network. Certeon aCelera Virtualizes, Simplifies, and Accelerates Application Deployment aCelera Virtual Appliance software is the perfect union of virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. and application acceleration technology and provides businesses with a combination of cost-effective performance, scalability, and ease of management. aCelera, with its embedded Application An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. Acceleration Blueprints, significantly optimizes and reduces application and file data traffic over the WAN by more than 95 percent. aCelera's Application Acceleration Blueprints enable the efficient and fast identification of redundant application data as it moves over the network. By identifying and de-duplicating data, aCelera is able to only send data changes between server and client systems, significantly reducing network traffic and application deployment times. This capability helps overcome possible network issues such as low bandwidth, high latency, packet loss, and network contention, essentially mitigating the impact of the network on application and update distribution. aCelera runs on Microsoft Hyper-V and, when combined with App-V and SCCM, consolidates branch server roles into a virtualized distribution infrastructure that is software based and therefore easily and rapidly deployed to remote branch locations. aCelera identifies and significantly reduces Microsoft App-V and SCCM network traffic going between the data center and the distributed sites resulting in dramatically accelerated time to move a locally installed or virtualized application or update into production. "Microsoft SCCM and App-V play a large part in lowering the TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. of delivering, managing, and maintaining the growing number of applications used by desktops throughout distributed enterprises," states David Greschler, Director, Integrated Virtualization & Management Strategy, Microsoft Corporation. "Certeon's aCelera Virtual Appliance maximizes the performance benefits which Microsoft App-V and SCCM bring to these environments, while at the same time directly contributing to lower application management labor costs." Lowest TCO aCelera delivers a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) when compared to proprietary hardware appliances. aCelera software has been proven to save up to 60 percent in capital and operations costs over the competition. Along with its support of App-V and SCCM, aCelera supports Application Acceleration Blueprints for line of business applications such as Microsoft Office, SharePoint/MOSS, and Exchange. "Microsoft SCCM and App-V enable globally distributed enterprises to simplify and accelerate their application delivery infrastructures, realize infrastructure cost reduction benefits, and scale their delivery of applications to a growing number of users," states Peter Dougherty, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and Co-founder, Certeon Inc. "aCelera enables those optimized environments to realize their true potential by eliminating network roadblocks, simplifying management, and leveraging the cost saving benefits that only Certeon's virtualized network acceleration can deliver." About Certeon Certeon's aCelera software is the first and only application acceleration virtual appliance to deliver acceleration, virtualization, and manageability when remotely accessing applications throughout a distributed enterprise. aCelera software reduces application response time over the WAN by more than 95 percent without proprietary hardware appliances. aCelera is optimized for mission-critical applications such as: application virtualization and management, software configuration management, enterprise content management, Web-based collaboration, and wide area file services Wide Area File Services (WAFS) products allow remote office users to access and share files globally at LAN speeds over the WAN. Distributed enterprises that deploy WAFS solutions are able to consolidate storage to corporate datacenters, eliminating the need to backup and manage . aCelera is flexible and easy to deploy, delivering faster, more scalable application acceleration to more users. Certeon enables distributed enterprises to dramatically reduce their TCO and gain a faster ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). when compared to proprietary hardware appliances.
