Certeon Virtual Appliance uncorking the network bottleneck | ZDNet
Summary
I was speaking with Certeon about recently released performance figures for their network/application acceleration virtual appliance that can be hosted both on VMwares ESX Server or Microsorts Hyper-V (for more information follow this link.) The performance figures were impressive, but then again, since I was part of Digital Equipment Corporations Networks and Communications group, Ive known that tools that create optimal use of network links can help organizations experience amazing performance increases for network-oriented workloads or amazing network-related cost reductions. Developers and operations staff often make the mistake of overlooking small improvements in their search for a single sliver bullet. Since inserting this type of network optimization requires little or no changes to the software or the administration of the workload, the return on the investment can happen very quickly. Ive been amused by the fact that many organizations facing performance challenges immediately moved to replace their systems rather than trying to optimize the use of their current IT environment.
