CERTEON, INC
� Company
� US Headquarters; Offices in France and UK
� Premier Technology Partners: Microsoft, VMware, IBM, EMC, Siemens
� Mission
� Leader in Virtualized Application Acceleration
� LAN-like application performance over WAN
� aCelera
� First and only virtual appliance for application acceleration
� Accelerates all WAN traffic (HTTP/S; CIFS; MAPI; TCP; FTP)
� Optimizes mission critical traffic (e.g. SharePoint)
� Technology: Patented “Blueprints” and Object Differencing
� Blueprints (specific functionality) for� Microsoft MOSS/SharePoint
� Microsoft Office 2007 (Project, Visio, Forms)
� Microsoft Exchange (MAPI)
� IBM Rational Suite
� File transfers (CIFS)
� Web parts, XML and ASP.NET; Web Services (Excel, Forms, other)
� EMC Documentum
� SAP NetWeaver
� Siemens Teamcenter, Insight, and Solid Edge (CAD/CAM)
� Benefits� Software only
� Improve performance of applications over latent/low bandwidth by 90%
� Lower TCO by 50-80% by reducing number of servers
� Ultimate flexibility and scalability of Virtualization
� 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

Data Object Differencing
� 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� 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
