With NITROSPHERE your data gets to its destination using the native application/database protocols which means you get the full stability offered by those protocols even when packets are lost due to congestion or low quality networks.

NITROSPHERE is more secure. While WAN accelerators can encrypt traffic between locations, in order to implement end-to-end encryption, they require that you provide the encryption keys for applications you want to accelerate. This means that the appliance first decrypts the data, then operates on it, then re-encrypts it. This is not end-to-end encryption. Hardware accelerators also increase the attack surface for hackers by caching your corporate data to disks on the device, meaning that if the appliance is breached, so is your enterprise. NITROSPHERE is the only true end-to-end encryption and acceleration provider.

Using NitroAccelerator you can get LAN level performance out of your cloud applications.

Migrating to cloud can negatively impact performance of apps that formerly ran within your data center.

NitroAccelerator can also save you bandwidth costs for your purchased bandwidth from your cloud providers.

Increase costs doesn’t always solve the problem. If you have a mobile workforce or offices in remote regions, additional bandwidth may not be available to them. NITROSPHERE may be the only cost-effective solution in this case.

Bandwidth costs add up. When you purchase bandwidth, you are generally adding an additional monthly cost for as long as you are using that bandwidth. This applies whether you are running on-premise or cloud-based applications. And you multiply these costs for every site that needs more bandwidth, which, for some NITROSPHERE customers, added up to tens of thousands of dollars per month. Therefore, they use NITROSPHERE to lower their bandwidth costs as well as improve performance.

Cloudy with a chance of rain. Cloud services can compound the issue by charging for the actual volume of data moved into/out of a cloud-hosted database. This adds additional charges on top of your bandwidth costs. NITROSPHERE helps minimize the amount of data moving into and out of the cloud-hosted database.

NITROSPHERE costs less. Like WAN accelerators, these solutions usually require hardware and are very expensive. Common deployments for 1,000 desktops can cost $500K to $1M. As a software-only solution, NITROSPHERE does not have to sell expensive hardware.

Single point of failure. The reason that companies started migrating to distributed solutions from mainframes in the 1990’s was to avoid single points of failure and to put the applications closer to the end-user. In the event of a data center outage, can you afford to have potentially thousands of end-users/locations completely offline also? NITROSPHERE enables you to implement applications with modern architectures while enabling you to make decisions based on what your
end users need without the limitation of worrying about performance or security at the endpoint.

Doesn’t always solve performance. While remote application/desktop solutions can sometimes address latency issues, they don’t always result in acceptable performance for end users in branch or store locations. NITROSPHERE can help provide a bridge of performance for these locations while working in conjunction with the remote application/desktop solution.
