Certeon's aCelera™ is the first virtual appliance software to run natively within a virtual machine (VM) infrastructure and to provide true application acceleration across the wide area network (WAN). aCelera software delivers the same application response time reduction as its proprietary hardware appliance counterparts do, with the added benefit of eliminating the hardware footprint and high cost of separately managed, single-purpose boxes. aCelera software runs on industry standard x86 system platforms.
