Accept Software Deploys Aryaka's Cloud-Based WAN Optimization, Reduces Bandwidth 96%, CIFS Compressed 4x, Applications Run 6x Faster

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 19, 2011) - Aryaka, provider of the world's first cloud-based WAN optimization and application acceleration solution, announced today that Accept Software, a leader in end-to-end product portfolio management and execution solutions, has deployed Aryaka to boost inter-office connectivity, reduce application response times for remote locations, and improve collaboration across global teams.

Accept's flagship software, Accept360, is an on-demand solution enabling enterprises to manage all phases of product innovation, using applications that share a single repository of information. Before implementing the Aryaka solution, the company was facing problems connecting its development teams in India with its North American headquarters in California. Accept's branch offices were connected using IP VPN. Internet latency and packet loss resulted in extremely slow file and code transfers with subversion (SVN). Employees were losing up to three hours of productivity per day -- equivalent to $15,000 across locations. These application performance issues were also causing serious delays in critical development cycles for Accept's customers and consequently a longer time to market for their products.

"The Aryaka solution immediately resolved our network stability and application performance issues," said John Haniotis, Senior Vice President Products, Accept Software. "We were impressed to see the benefit from remarkably reduced bandwidth consumption of over 96 percent. The combination of Aryaka's cloud-based WAN optimization platform and Accept's SaaS solution empowers our customers to create innovative products without having to compromise on how technology is managed and delivered."

Since deploying the Aryaka solution, Accept's entire global workforce is now able to access more efficiently a wide range of applications, including CIFS, HTTP, SSH, RDP, Oracle, and MySQL.

"When users get their applications and data fast, the improved experience makes them happier and more productive," said Ajit Gupta, Founder, President and CEO of Aryaka. "By choosing a cloud-based WAN optimization solution, Accept Software's development teams are now able to meet deadlines more quickly, speed time-to-market for the company's innovative solutions, and accelerate application development lifecycles, all of which deepens customer intimacy and loyalty."
