Overview

Secure proxy appliances for distributed enterprise deployments

Remote office and branch offices (ROBO) are vital for organisations conducting business across the country or around the world. To ensure a safe and productive Web environment, remote locations require the same level of Internet control as headquarter and data center locations. However, because onsite technical support staff is not always available, ROBO sites need a solution that is easy to install, configure and maintain-even remotely.

While many organisations have taken control of Web communications at headquarter locations, they face a growing number of issues resulting from telecommuters and remote offices. The ROBO site, however, has always presented a unique problem for IT administrators. Controlling Web communications from these locations has become the new challenge for distributed enterprises. Administrators grapple with the tasks of installing, configuring and managing secure networks in remote branch offices where IT professionals are generally scarce, and dedicated communication links are difficult and expensive to maintain. A primary goal of IT is to reduce costs to support ROBO users and applications while increasing security and control.

The Blue Coat ProxySG™ 400 Series appliances are designed to increase control over remote and branch office Web communications while reducing the costs associated with distributed deployments. Available as a rack-mountable or desktop device, the ProxySG 400 platform easily "drops-in" to remote environments. With its powerful, centralised management and granular policy capabilities, the ProxySG 400 allows government, corporate and educational organisations with distributed locations to secure, control and monitor all Web communications-including such applications such as instant messaging and rich media content-at all remote and branch office sites. Combined with Blue Coat's Director and Reporter products, the SG400 provides the foundation for comprehensive ROBO control.
