Certeon Named to Everything Channel’s CRN Virtualization 100 List

Certeon, the application performance company, today announced it has been recognized by Everything Channel in CRN’s Virtualization 100 list, featuring the top 100 vendors in the virtualization space as identified by the editorial staff of CRN. Designed to help VARs efficiently evaluate virtualization products, the Virtualization 100 serves as the de facto list by which VARs can make strategic technology decisions in virtualization to support their business.

According to the CRN Fast Growth Study, virtualization is the number one technology that VARs are investing in over the next year. The CRN Virtualization 100 list highlights the most compelling virtualization vendors and solutions to best meet the growing needs of the channel. These featured vendors were chosen by CRN’s Editorial staff based on their ability to help VARs transform themselves into true service providers and help organizations and enterprises take advantage of the ease, flexibility, scalability, elasticity and cost savings that leveraging virtualization has to offer.

Certeon was selected for its software WAN optimization solution, aCelera, which dramatically reduces application response time without needing any proprietary hardware. It delivers fast and secure data transfer for any user, accessing any application, on any device, across any network, anywhere in the world. As a software product, it is easily deployable and extremely cost-effective. aCelera remains the only solution that can provide the performance and scalability of hardware appliances at a fraction of the cost across the entire enterprise. Additionally, it is the first and only virtual appliance for WAN optimization and application acceleration to be certified by VMware.

“From server to storage to desktop virtualization, this technology will become a mainstay for businesses large and small and one of the more profitable technologies for VARs to integrate and sell,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “This list will be the must-read list of the top 100 vendors in the virtualization space and will explain their technology and the opportunities to customize solutions.”

“We are honored to be named to Everything Channel’s CRN Virtualization 100 List,” said Peter Dougherty, president and CEO, Certeon. “At Certeon, we are constantly working to deliver value to VARs and are especially pleased that aCelera is being recognized on such a prestigious list of virtualization solutions. We are providing a flexible, scalable and cost-efficient solution to delivering accelerated, automated and secure access to centralized application data, allowing global organizations and cloud service providers to offer the optimized application services to their users.”

A sample of the Virtualization 100 was featured in the May 23^rd issue of CRN Magazine and online at crn.com.
