Blue Coat adds Web Security to WAN Optimization

Blue Coat has added Cloud-Connector to its Blue Coat MACH5 WAN optimization appliances and virtual appliances. Cloud-Connector allows companies with Blue Coat WAN optimization solutions deployed in branch or remote offices to instantly apply Web security from the Blue Coat Cloud Service. Having secure "branch-to-cloud" direct Internet access, enables companies to stop the common practice of backhauling Internet traffic to and from the corporate data center and offers a chance to re-architect the Wide Area Network (WAN) to meet the new application realities. Branch-to-cloud topology lowers networking costs and speeds access to cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications.

"With the rapid adoption of cloud-based services and applications, companies are re-thinking the typical enterprise standard of routing Internet traffic from branch offices through a central data center or headquarters. If an enterprise can easily get the same level of Web security at the branch office that exists at the data center, it will have the flexibility to choose a network topology which is both cost-effective and business-centric," said Cindy Borovick, Vice-President, IDC.

Steve Daheb, Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice-President, Blue Coat Systems, said, "Blue Coat Next Generation WAN optimization enables companies to transform their existing networks and drive optimization beyond the traditional Wide Area Network. The Internet is the fundamental technology connection point for any business. Our Cloud-Connector enables enterprises to re-architect private WAN designs to safely embrace Internet connectivity to reduce costs, enable faster cloud performance and scalably deliver video - while also optimizing traditional consolidated internal applications across the WAN."

Cloud-Connector is available beginning November 22, 2011 in the latest software release for MACH5 appliances. The capability is fully integrated into the software, and there is no extra charge to customers. Existing customers under a service contract can upgrade to the latest version of SGOS to get the Cloud-Connector capability. The Blue Coat Cloud Service is priced on a subscription model based on the number of employees subscribed and specific services utilized.
