BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Certeon, the application performance company, today announced that Certeon and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have combined the power of the cloud with revolutionary performance optimization. Certeon and Amazon combine to deliver a powerful, cloud-optimized platform and access gateway that enable fast, reliable, secure, and simple access to the public cloud. Certeon aCelera transforms the cloud into an extension of the data center by eliminating the barriers to enterprise-class cloud deployments.

In his recent research note Managing Network Performance of Cloud-Based Applications, Gartner analyst Eric Siegel observed that "Cloud computing is a hot topic, and the performance of the network is a critical factor in user satisfaction," and that "Network performance is a key component of the total performance of cloud-based applications." Mr. Siegel concluded, "If the application or network can't be redesigned, WAN performance optimization can make the difference between useable and useless."

Certeon aCelera features the scale, speed and simplicity enterprise applications need and also includes integrated cloud-intelligent features like wan bridging, on demand security and a profile based configuration management system. When combined with the elasticity and subscription pricing model of AWS, organizations can easily install and scale within AWS' Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) environments.
