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
