The
Blue Coat SG8100 Series represents the next generation in high-end
proxy appliance platforms, providing even the largest enterprises
with the power to protect and accelerate web communications
and business applications.
Located at the Internet gateway, the SG8100
platform enables effective control of the enterprise’s Internet traffic,
including protection from spyware, malicious mobile code, inappropriate
web usage, and potential legal liability – while actually
improving web performance.
As the core of an organization’s application delivery
infrastructure, the SG8100 provides controlled acceleration of
business applications across the globally-distributed enterprise. Leveraging
Blue Coat’s MACH5 technology,
the SG8100 enables branch office users to enjoy the same LAN-like
performance and experience as those located at headquarters or
the data center.
Deployed at the data center, the SG8000 accelerates web applications and content
from origin web servers, while securely isolating them from direct Internet
access. Optional SSL services secure communications and off-load application
servers from computationally-intensive processes.
Centralized policy administration is provided by Blue Coat Director, while Blue Coat Reporter provides log aggregation from
multiple SG appliances into concise reports to analyze web communications
and policy enforcement.
The Blue Coat SG8100 is at the
heart of the enterprise for inspecting, controlling, and logging
Web application traffic entering or leaving the network.
