Certeon Now Supports Desktops as a Managed Service Solution

By Anshu Shrivastava, TMCnet Contributor


Certeon has announced its support for “Desktops as a Managed Service” solutions based on VMware ESX 3.5 and ESXi 3.5.
 
Certeon (News - Alert) is a provider of virtual appliance solutions for wide area network optimization and application acceleration. Also, it’s VMware Technology Alliance Partner program member.

 
The company said that this latest announcement underscores its commitment to enable high performance, scalable, and cost-efficient WAN infrastructures in support of hosted virtual desktop infrastructures computing environments.
 
TAP program members are provided tools by VMware in order to develop products that are complementary to VMware virtualization software. In addition, the tools also help deliver high-value solutions to joint customers.
 
Peter Dougherty, co-founder and president of Certeon, said that the VMware virtualization, in conjunction with aCelera’s application acceleration, scalability, and cost saving capabilities, enables enterprises and managed service providers to deliver data and applications to an exploding number of WAN-connected, browser-based hosted virtual desktops.
 
aCelera virtual appliance software is an integration of virtualization and application acceleration technology, and is system-independent and hypervisor-agnostic. With aCelera, application response time is reduced over the WAN by 95 percent.
 
In addition, it also enables enterprises and managed service providers to save as much as 60 percent in total cost of ownership as compared to proprietary hardware acceleration appliances, according to company officials. Also, aCelera enables a faster return on investment by reducing capital and operational costs and increasing user productivity, said officials.
 
Moreover, by leveraging aCelera’s scalability solutions, Desktone’s DaaS can facilitate desktop image, data and Web application delivery between corporate data centers and managed service providers’ hosting facilities that house virtual desktops.
 
Jeff Fisher, senior director for strategic development at Desktone, said that Certeon’s fully virtualized solution, aCelera, delivers the WAN efficiency the company need to extend the reach of subscription-based hosted VDI solutions such as Desktops as a Service.
 
“aCelera effectively leverages the VMware virtual infrastructure, enabling customers to improve application delivery performance to hosted VDI environments,” said Bernie Mills, senior director for Alliances Programs at VMware.
