Bluecoat

Blue Coat is focused on developing proxy appliances that provide powerful visibility and control of all Web communications. Blue Coat Proxy SG and ProxyAV appliances allow organizations such as ABN-Amro, Cap Gemini Ernst &Young, CompUSA, Discover, Hitachi Data Systems, John Deere, and the U.S. Air Force, to rapidly deploy applications such as content filtering, spyware prevention, Web virus scanning, IM and P2P control, Web proxy and bandwidth management while actually improving Web performance.

The Proxy SG™ family of appliances includes the award-winning ProxySG 400 Series, 800 Series and 8000 Series. Based on Blue Coat SGOS™, a custom, object-based operating system with integrated caching, these proxy appliances leverage existing authentication systems to enable granular policy enforcement down to the individual user. Blue Coat's end-to-end product portfolio includes powerful reporting, policy and configuration management software - delivering a scalable proxy system architecture for centralized or distributed enterprise environments. Delivered as a rack mountable appliance for simple installation and management, these ICSA-certified solutions easily integrate with existing security and network infrastructure.

The ProxySG 200 provides an affordable platform for visibility, control and acceleration of web communications at remote offices with central policy administration provided by Director, plus log aggregation and concise reporting down to individual users provided by Reporter. The ProxySG 400 also enables corporations to extend Web traffic protection and control to the network edge for branch offices, while significantly reducing the administration and management costs for securing a distributed enterprise. Both the ProxySG 800 and the ProxySG 8000 were designed to meet enterprise requirements for capacity, performance, availability and centralized management. While all four series provide the same broad application support and features, the 8000 Series provides an expandable, modular platform for customizing disk size, RAM and network interface cards

Complete Range of Proxy SG Appliances

The ProxyAV family of appliances integrates with the ProxySG to provide scalability and performance in real-time scanning of Web-based file downloads for viruses, worms and trojans. Pairing the ProxyAV with the ProxySG provides significant advantages for high-speed Web virus scanning that standalone systems cannot match. Both the ProxyAV 400 and ProxyAV 2000 provide the same comprehensive features with easy deployment - and a choice of virus scanning engines from Sophos and McAfee.
