BROOMFIELD, Colo., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- eSoft, Inc., a leading provider of integrated network security solutions offering small to medium-sized organizations protection from dynamic Internet-based threats, today announced the availability of its Global Management enhancement.

With Global Management, eSoft customers may now manage all of their eSoft appliances, system updates and various configurations of web filtering, firewall and other service solutions from a single easy-to-use web-based interface. Global Management can be easily installed as an upgrade to the customer's existing eSoft system.

Global Management benefits eSoft customers including managed service security providers (MSSPs), resellers for education, healthcare, local government and financial services solutions to control and set policies to an unlimited number of branch locations from a single console.

eSoft Security Solutions

eSoft's solutions provide IT managers with simplicity and flexibility when deploying and managing network security. The eSoft solutions place fewer demands on the time and security expertise of IT staff lowering the total cost of providing compliant and robust network security.

eSoft offers a Firewall/VPN solution or a Content Security solution, both providing complete email and web threat protection. eSoft solutions are available as a hardware device or as a virtual appliance for virtual systems utilizing VMware, Microsoft and Citrix. The Global Management enhancement may be used in conjunction with both types of eSoft security solutions.

"With eSoft Global Management, we have a central console to track, update and push software configurations, helping us to increase our daily productivity level by 20 percent," said Bob Austin, owner and vice president of Digital DOT Systems, Omaha, Neb. "We can tell at a glance the expirations of every SoftPak and get timely alerts when a firewall goes offline, often before the end user even knows."

Bud Michael, president and CEO of eSoft, Inc. added, "Global Management helps our customers better manage their software subscriptions and service renewals from a single interface. Now they spend less time worrying about network security and have more time to focus on their business."

Pricing and Availability

The eSoft Global Management enhancement is currently available. Pricing for the new enhancement is determined by the number of eSoft hardware devices or virtual appliances configured to the network security system. The pricing range varies from five to up to 250 devices. eSoft security solutions are available through over 200 network security specialists and resellers.  For more information, see: http://www.esoft.com/how-to-buy/find-a-partner/
