Certeon, the industry’s first vendor to offer a virtualized appliance for application acceleration, today announces that Co-Founder and Director of Research Shawn Cooney will speak at the Virtualization Conference and Expo West on November 19, 2008 in San Jose, CA. Certeon was selected to present on virtualization strategies following its successful participation at the Virtualization Conference and Expo this June.

On Wednesday, November 19th, Mr. Cooney will present a session on virtualization strategy and practice, putting special emphasis on how to prepare an organization for virtualization. The presentation will address the issues of condensing physical resources and how to make applications easily accessible to the growing number of remote users within a global enterprise.

The session is geared toward IT managers who are considering virtualization technologies, exploring the advantages and potential pitfalls of virtualization, and thinking about how its impact will shape the future of the virtual enterprise.

The Virtualization Conference and Expo West will be the leading West Coast event of the year, attracting key opinion-formers in the field of infrastructure and pioneers of virtualization technologies. The conference is the educational and networking opportunity of the year for leading virtualization technology providers.

In May 2008, Certeon announced the end of the era of proprietary application acceleration appliances with the launch of the industry’s first and only true virtual appliance for application acceleration. Certeon’s aCelera™ Virtual Appliance software delivers up to a 95 percent reduction in application response time for applications being accessed across the WAN with the added benefit of eliminating the hardware footprint and high cost of separately managed, single-purpose hardware appliances.
