Greg is recognised as an innovative and successful entrepreneur having founded jetNEXUS and subsequently Layer 47. Following his engineering degree in Robotics, Greg joined Morgan Stanley Equity IT department. In 2001, Greg left this role to become one of the founders of jetNEXUS. Having always possessed a keen interest in the latest technology solutions, Greg found that setting up jetNEXUS offered a great opportunity to develop his passion and deliver technology that really does make a difference. His practical yet innovative approach to business is reflected throughout the whole culture of jetNEXUS. Although now CEO of an international technology company, Greg still likes to get heavily involved in the technology with a hands on approach, thus ensuring that jetNEXUS product development is closely aligned with market requirements.

In his spare time Greg enjoys squash, sailing, golf and skiing and in fact most sports where you spend most of the time lost, wet, cold and frustrated at a small ball! He also enjoys walking in the countryside, especially when a nice bottle of wine and a good meal awaits at the end!

Presentation

Title: What Does Application Acceleration Really Mean?

Advanced Load Balancers have been around for some time, but there still seems to be a lot of confusion over the loosely used term “acceleration”. Ok so we’ve all heard the hype and read the sales material, but often the term application acceleration is over used in the ADC arena without any real meaning attributed to it.

This presentation will uncover the true value behind application acceleration, detailing the technical features that are key to acceleration and discussing what real benefits you can expect to see, and more importantly what difference it can make to user experience.

Audience: IT Managers, Network Managers
