A high-performance wide area network (WAN) infrastructure is critical to lowering costs and increasing the efficiency of remote software development environments. Software configuration management (SCM) solutions are commonly accessed over the WAN where remote developers can experience performance degradation due to high latency. Critical SCM transactions can take multiple minutes to complete with typical network latencies, resulting in lost productivity and higher development costs.

This Webcast features IBM Rational customer performance test results and total cost of ownership (TCO) and ROI analyses, which demonstrate how Certeon's aCelera application acceleration software can cost-effectively reduce Rational application response time over the WAN by up to 95 percent; save 60 percent in capital and operations TCO; and deliver an ROI in just 3 months.

Attendee Benefits:

• Learn how to improve IBM Rational application performance to remote developers
• Understand how to reduce your TCO by 60 percent and achieve a rapid ROI by reducing costs and increasing productivity
• See how you can expand high performance IBM Rational application remote access to include mobile developers

Ask the Experts
As a follow-up to the Webcast, presenters Charlie Kraus of Certeon and Paul Weiss from IBM will be available to answer your real-time questions about optimizing IBM Rational application remote access, lowering costs, and improving ROI in this interactive online Q&A session. This "Ask the Experts" session will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2009 from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. ET.

• Charlie Kraus is a senior director of business development for Certeon and manages the IBM partner relationship. Kraus authored a white paper on IBM Rational application performance and works with large IBM Rational customers, presenting acceleration solutions for IBM Rational applications.
• Paul Weiss is the senior manager of the Performance and Reliability team (PRT) for the Rational Software Brand of the IBM Software Group (SWG).
