BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Certeon, the industry’s first vendor to provide Application Intelligent Networking™ for significantly accelerating application access over wide area networks (WANs), today announced that Hubbell Lighting, Inc., an innovator and manufacturer of lighting solutions worldwide, has chosen Certeon’s S-Series™ appliances to accelerate its distributed process and change engineering environment. The S-Series appliances improved Hubbell Lighting’s 3D document download time by 100 to 125 percent without requiring additional network bandwidth. The S-Series deployment increased productivity at branch offices by 75 percent.
Hubbell Lighting operates a globally distributed manufacturing and
engineering organization. Its process engineering and change management
environment includes application solutions such as UGS®
Solid Edge™ and Microsoft®
SharePoint®.
Headquartered in Spartanburg, SC, its engineering organization needed to
share large CAD documents over a Microsoft SharePoint Web portal to more
than 200 people in North America, located in Spartanburg, SC, Tijuana,
Mexico, and Christianburg, VA.
Hubbell Lighting’s ability to advance and
standardize on these high-performance process management, CAD, and
Web-based collaboration solutions was impacted by the WAN’s
inherent issues of high network latency and congestion. CAD designs took
as long as 15 minutes to download and open, impeding the productivity of
the distributed engineering and manufacturing organization. To overcome
the network bottlenecks, Hubbell Lighting deployed Certeon’s
S-Series S-1000 and S-2000 Application Acceleration Appliances.
The S-Series overcomes the inherent latency of the WAN by employing its
unique Application Acceleration Blueprints™
and Object Differencing Engine™ which
identify the application objects contained within documents,
differencing the changes in those documents, and then only sending the
compressed differences over the network. The improved product lifecycle
management (PLM) processes and application response time that Hubbell
Lighting gained by deploying the combination of UGS, Microsoft, and
Certeon enabled it to realize a 75 percent gain in productivity at its
engineering and manufacturing organizations.
“Certeon has given us the opportunity to take
our engineering resources to the next level,”
states Kevin Poyck, vice president, engineering, Hubbell Lighting, Inc. “By
eliminating the network bottlenecks, Certeon’s
S-Series enabled us to fully optimize our process and change engineering
deployments and maximize our productivity.”
Certeon's S-Series Application Acceleration Appliances with Application
Intelligent Networking are the next generation of application
acceleration and application delivery solutions for maximizing the
speed, security, and scalability of globally distributed applications.
The S-Series appliances enable application intelligence on the network,
significantly improving application response times for all HTTP/S
traffic over the WAN and specifically for mission-critical process
management and collaboration applications such as UGS
Solid Edge and Microsoft
SharePoint.
“With so much invested in its PLM application
deployments, Hubbell Lighting needed to find a cost-effective solution
to significantly improve application response times over the WAN,”
said Gareth Taube, vice president worldwide marketing, Certeon. “The
S-Series enabled Hubbell Lighting’s existing
application and networking environments to function more effectively and
deliver the productivity that it was looking for.”
