Array Networks aCelera-Windows
aCelera for Windows Server

Overview:

aCelera Windows runs on Microsoft Windows Server to flexibly enable on-demand, full-featured application and data acceleration whenever and wherever it is needed.

aCelera for Windows Server

aCelera for Windows Server is the industry’s first WAN optimization solution available as a Windows service. Now in its third generation, aCelera Windows has been further refined for server environments and offers a level of performance and scalability unmatched by other vendors. Today, aCelera scales to support the needs of the smallest branch office to the largest enterprise data center or cloud provider network. Deploying aCelera symmetrically at both ends of a WAN connection overcomes bandwidth limitations utilizing compression and data de-duplication and overcomes network latency issues utilizing TCP and application protocol optimization.

Features:

Accelerating application performance from anywhere to anywhere

aCelera is the industry’s first WAN accelerator and optimization solution available as high-performance physical appliances, flexible virtual appliances or as software for Windows environments. Now in its third generation, aCelera has been further refined for all environments and delivers the performance, scalability and agility to operate anywhere, including cloud provider networks, enterprise data centers, branch offices and mobile users. By deploying aCelera WAN accelerators at both ends of a WAN connection, compression, de-duplication and protocol optimization work in concert to improve application response times by up to 50x and reduce bandwidth utilization by up to 95%.

Using the aCelera Configuration Management System (CMS), IT administrators can utilize a single console to manage and view the status of all aCelera WAN accelerator deployments. CMS may be used with just a few aCelera instances or with thousands of aCelera appliances and is of enormous benefit in centralizing WAN optimization management tasks.

aCelera WAN Accelerators
