Original Press Release:
FineGround Adds Appliance Offering to Deliver Enterprise Application Optimization and Monitoring
Velocity(TM) Yields Turnkey Solution, Facilitates Rapid Deployment and End-to-End Response Time Monitoring
CAMPBELL, Calif., January 13, 2004 - FineGround, the leader in web application optimization, today announced its Velocity(TM) appliance. FineGround Velocity, already in production at leading Global 2000 organizations, delivers FineGround's patent-pending Performance Suite software prepackaged as a turnkey appliance. The Velocity appliance typically provides 300 percent performance gains for enterprise web applications including email, collaboration, portals, and more.
"Our goal was to provide faster accessibility to corporate data, increase productivity and employee collaboration," said Sergio Fabossi, IT Consultant at Alcoa Aluminio S.A. "We required an easy to implement appliance to allow us to improve business productivity and reduce response times end-to-end. FineGround will provide the solution to enable critical corporate information to be accessed by all employees regardless of location and time zone."
"Delivering acceptable performance to end users is central to the real-time enterprise," said Mark Fabbi, Vice President Enterprise Communications at Gartner. "Rather than throwing more server infrastructure and bandwidth resources at the problem, we see more enterprises choosing to invest in hardware and software solutions that enable application optimization in a more cost-effective manner."
As organizations evolve towards increased automation of business processes, mission critical applications extend outward from corporate headquarters to the branch offices over wide-area networks (WANs). While the performance of these applications is acceptable at corporate headquarters, poor application usage for remote workers or at branch locations translates into poor productivity and poor business efficiency. Poor application performance also results in poor application adoption which results in diminished application ROI.
"Companies today recognize that poor application performance directly hinders their business," said Jay Mellman, vice president of Marketing at FineGround. "The first reaction for some is to increase network capacity but this does little to address the broad spectrum of bottlenecks impeding application performance in the enterprise. We provide a turn-key, cost-effective Suite approach that tackles performance degradation at the application layer without requiring changes to the IT infrastructure."
