Secure Web Communications and Accelerate Business
Applications
The Blue Coat SG family of appliances delivers a scalable proxy
platform architecture to secure Web communications and accelerate
delivery of business applications.
Based on a custom, object-based operating system with integrated
caching and compression, these proxy appliances leverage existing
authentication systems to enable flexible policy enforcement
on content, users, applications and protocols.
Blue Coat SG appliances are typically deployed:
- At the Internet gateway (forward
proxy) to protect internal users and networks from spyware,
phishing attacks, inappropriate web usage, and potential
legal liability – while
actually improving web performance.
- At the edge of an organization’s
application delivery infrastructure for controlled acceleration
of key business applications, including file services, rich
media applications, and e-mail.
- In the DMZ (reverse proxy) to securely isolate web servers
from direct Internet access and accelerate web-based applications
and public websites.
Each Blue Coat SG appliance includes our patented Policy Processing
Engine, which enables sophisticated policies based on a wide
range of attributes to provide unmatched visibility, flexibility,
and control.
Delivered as a rack-mountable appliance
for simple installation and management, Blue Coat SG is offered
in a wide range of sizes and configurations appropriate for
remote / branch offices, Internet gateways, data centers, and
global service providers.
