5. Customer Case Study • Problem • Centralized deployment desired • SharePoint taking a long time to open • Uploads, Downloads and Saves are slow • Slow Intranet page renders • Options Considered • Data center offload devices • Generic packet based accelerator • Certeon Application Accelerator • Solution • Certeon at Microsoft Data Center and Energizer branches • Full deployment: 120 countries worldwide

6. No Acceleration 43X 6X 1st PASS 2nd PASS Results File Download File Download Page Render HTTP HTTPS HTTP MOSS acceleration with Certeon: Singapore to U.S. - WAN: T1, 300ms latency With Acceleration With Acceleration With Acceleration No Acceleration No Acceleration 10X 36X 6X 1st PASS 2nd PASS MOSS File Downloads 30 - 50X Faster (ex. 2 minutes to 3 seconds) MOSS Page Renders 10X+ Faster (ex. 10 seconds to 1 second)

7. Why Customers use aCelera • Reduce Infrastructure Costs • Improve Application Performance • Improve Employee Productivity/Satisfaction

8. Branch Office Branch Office Branch Office VM Business Problem WAN Data Center } • Latency • Packet loss • Contention • Bandwidth • Slow application response • Poor user experience • Low productivity • Servers in multiple locations

9. Poor Application Performance • Decreases corporate revenue up to 9% • Aberdeen Group - Aug 11, 2008 • Other effects • Decline in employee satisfaction 56% • Loss of revenue opportunities 50% • Decrease in responsiveness to needs of external customers 47% • Damage to brand reputation 32% • Decrease in effectiveness of IT staff 31%

10. Acceleration Vendors • Cisco • Riverbed • Others • Application Point Solutions Common Theme: Proprietary Appliances for Acceleration

11. Proprietary Appliances Deploying Proprietary Appliances is the Wrong Answer! • Installation Cost • Management Cost • Power Cost • Rack Space • Underutilized Hardware

12. aCelera • Application Acceleration Virtual Appliance • Software for application acceleration • Deployed as a virtual machine application • VMware or Hyper-V • No proprietary special purpose hardware • No servers to ship and install • No fixed hardware resources • No underutilized server resources

13. aCelera Acceleration • 95% application response time reduction across a WAN • Increases application usage • Increases user productivity • Reduced Cost • 60% lower TCO than proprietary WAN acceleration appliances • Efficient use of server hardware resources • Flexible • Provision acceleration when and where needed • Scalable • Add processing power as needed • Manageable • Use VMware or Hyper-V Tools

14. WAN Branch Data Center Easy Integration • Virtual appliance in data center and in branch offices • No client, server, or application configurations required • Not a proxy cache; not replication based • Origin server always accessed • Upstream and downstream acceleration

15. Easy Deployment

16. WAN Why is aCelera so fast ? Remote Office Data Center Data Object Differencing • Remote office requests file from data center • aCelera compares data request with previously seen data 3. aCelera fetches only new data required and merges it with previous data 4. Complete document delivered to user

17. Core Technology • Application Acceleration BlueprintsTM • Embedded logic that enhances acceleration • Provides application specific intelligence and processing • Understands application semantics • Object Differencing Engine (ODE) • Technology to eliminate transmission of redundant content • Whole object differencing (MB vs KB) • Whole object is understood through the Blueprint and differenced • Predictive pre-loading • Accurate response prediction via pattern matching • Pre-fetch from history store; Data ready in memory for fast delivery • Results • Highest level of data reduction • Fewer round trips, reduced network traffic • Reduced response times

18. aCelera Packaging Options • Virtual Appliance (Software) • aCelera Acceleration Software • Supports • VMware ESX or ESXi; Microsoft Hyper-V • Open Physical Appliance (Hardware) • aCelera Acceleration Software + • Virtualization + • Dell Server aCelera aCelera VPN MAIL MOSS VMware ESX or ESXi

19. 2 Choices aCelera VPN MAIL MOSS VMware ESX or ESXi or Hyper-V Costly Rack Open Single Physical Appliance

20. Benefits • Flexibility • Enables rapid deployment of applications • Rapid application access from anywhere • Scalability • Add users, applications or processing power as needed • Provides centralized management for ease of use and control • Reduced Cost • Centralize/Consolidate Servers • Maximize asset utilization enterprise wide • Lower operational costs

21. Questions to Consider • Branch Offices Access Applications over WAN • Branch Offices (bandwidth, latency) • Slow Application Response Times • Virtualization Strategy • VMware or Hyper-V in Company • Interest in Addressing Problem • Budget
