Overview
The Blue Coat ProxySG family of appliances delivers a scalable proxy
platform architecture to secure Web communications and accelerate the
delivery of business applications. The world’s leading proxy appliance,
ProxySG is built on SGOS, a custom, object-based operating system with
integrated caching and compression that uses existing authentication
systems to enable flexible policy enforcement on content, users,
applications and protocols.
Deployed between users and
applications as a true proxy, the ProxySG appliance provides a critical
point of control for application traffic by terminating and reinitiating
Web and other major application protocols. This allows the appliance to:
- Secure Web communications by
blocking spyware, viruses and other unwanted traffic
- Control access by user and
application to enforce Internet acceptable use policies
- Accelerate traffic across the
Internet or WAN through integrated caching and compression
Blue Coat ProxySG appliances are
designed to deliver a single proxy architecture that addresses the
various proxy requirements across a typical enterprise network.
- Secure Web Gateway to protect
internal users and networks from spyware and other attacks, enforce
appropriate usage policies on Web access and accelerate external Web
content
- Application Acceleration solution
at branch offices to improve the often sluggish performance of
applications – such as file services, rich media applications, and
e-mail – that traverse the corporate WAN or the Internet
- Reverse Proxy in the DMZ to
isolate web servers from direct Internet access and accelerate
web-based applications and public websites.
Delivered as a rack-mountable
appliance for simple installation and management, Blue Coat ProxySG is
offered in a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet the varied
proxy requirements at remote / branch offices, Internet gateways, data
centers, and global service providers.
