Hey Guys,

I'm still a newbie to this forum but I wanted to share with you a technology I discovered that blew me away when I first saw it in action. We are currently testing it in Citrix/RDP environments to see what level of improvement we can generate.

I just finished a great blog post and video on it:

We also included some of our extensive test results. This is a technology you have to take a look at.

Would love to get your feedback!

I think more likely you sell it than you just discovered it. There are various appliances such as 'Riverbed' and 'Packeteer' already competing in this market space. It doesn't hurt to have more competition however, to hopefully drive down the prices.

I have personally tested Citrix Wanscalers, Riverbed Steelheads and am about to test some Cisco devices.

Though these devices have a lot of potentional; especially in the CIFS area; none of them were able to noticably accelerate Citrix ICA traffic at this time. (since it is already highly optimized). So I sincerely doubt your product will be able to do something the other leading companies have not yet been able to do. (mind you, even Citrix's own product isn't able to accelerate ICA at this time).
