What it does? AcceleNet is a software client-based WAN optimization product that accelerates applications over the internet and enterprise networks to improve the productivity of telecommuters, field forces, traveling professionals and small branch office workers. It is especially unique in its ability to optimize application performance over satellite, cellular, WiFi, DSL, cable, dial-up and other problematic networks. In addition, AcceleNet addresses several enterprise requirements that are unique to mobile users, including preservation of enterprise security policies—such as SSL VPN compatibility and acceleration of secure file transfers (signed SMB) and web applications (HTTPS)—and bandwidth management for VoIP calls.
“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services. AcceleNet is bringing application performance improvements to serve the growing trend of remote and mobile workforces.”

Performance Throughput: n/a
Interfaces: n/a
Key Features and Benefits: Application protocol optimizers reduce chattiness (CIFS, MAPI, HTTP/S, FTP); Data compression and differencing reduces the amount of WAN-bound data: - History stored to disk, - Byte-level near-match comparisons send only changes, - Bi-directional differencing, - Cross-protocol differencing, - Encrypted client-side history, in case of lost/stolen laptop, - Shared server-side history for scalability; Patented transport optimizations maximize throughput over low-bandwidth, high-latency and high-packet-loss networks benefits increase as quality decreases; Advanced roaming and roving maintains the user session and continues the data transfer after temporary network disconnects (cellular roaming, dropped calls, moving between WLAN access points).
“We are honored that AcceleNet has gained the Network Products Guide Reader Trust recognition. ICT is truly revolutionizing software-based WAN acceleration. Hardware-based acceleration helps large corporate offices, but deprives branch office, home office, and mobile workers of the same benefits. With AcceleNet, we’re dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs by improving the productivity of all enterprise workers.”
Michael Slygh, ICT president
