Why ActMobile?
Businesses invest $B's in appliance-based acceleration technologies i.e. RiverBed, F5, Citrix, etc. to improve application performance in the remote office. However, when users leave the office, and / or corporate applications migrate to the cloud i.e. sf.com these box-based solutions become irrelevant. ActMobile extends application acceleration and optimization to all mobile devices.
Mobile data spends will exceed $150B this year. Usage is forecast to increase 26-fold by 2015 when most knowledge workers’ data will be consumed over cellular networks. ActMobile’s patent pending technologies helps businesses reduce data center bandwidth costs while increasing the speed, efficiency and security of mobile application delivery. ActMobile Networks is a pioneer in the Mobility As A Service (MaaS) market.
Technology
The company delivers a unique patent pending cloud-based service and mobile device application for Android, iOS, MacOS, and Windows platforms. Development is focused in three key areas:
- Performance through data reduction and delivery optimization
- Cost control and visibility
- Secure access to data
The solution controls the data path between the mobile device and the cloud service. All data to and from the device are consolidated in a secure tunnel, double-encrypted, reduced, and optimized. Our dual-ended proxy architecture is unique and allows us to control the protocols that drive mobile network transit to ensure efficiency.
The Team
Our founding team of senior developers and executives have extensive experience in wide area network optimization and data reduction which led them to develop a new approach to addressing acceleration and optimization for the mobile workforce without the need for expensive hardware. The engineering team developed the award winning WAN optimization and data reduction products for F5 Networks, Swan Labs and BlueCoat. The executive team has a proven track record of delivering investor returns and building great companies.
