VSS Monitoring Joins Blue Coat Technology Integration Partner Program to Scale WAN Optimization and Web Security Deployments
Interoperable Solution Delivers Session Aware Load Balancing and ByPass Protection while Eliminating Requirement for Third Party Routing Protocols (WCCP)
SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VSS Monitoring, the world leader in Network Intelligence Optimization, today announced that it has become a Blue Coat Systems Technology Integration Partner to provide increased scalability and availability across large deployments of Blue Coat ProxySG appliances with the company's VSS's Protector Series™.
As threats to the network become more sophisticated and targeted, the need for comprehensive network security and visibility has never been greater. Gaining this complete visibility is challenging as networks become more complex, distributed, and dynamic. Enterprises also need to scale bandwidth and performance, optimizing the application and network architectures of today and tomorrow to support cloud and rich media services globally across their enterprise including all branch offices.
News Facts:
- VSS Protector enables greater flexibility for inline and transparent mode deployments for ProxySG appliances, which accelerate the delivery of business applications and provide control and comprehensive protection against Web-based threats.
- Combined solution enables inline deployment for ProxySG appliances with ease, optimized performance, high availability and fault tolerance without the need for third party protocols like WCCP.
- Optimized Fault Tolerance Support (Fail Open/Close): Option to configure VSS Protector to automatically bypass a failed ProxySG and send network traffic to a backup ProxySG, or opt to stop network traffic.
- Combined solution automatically reroutes traffic during updates or maintenance so that ProxySG appliances (inline) can be inserted and removed without having to experience network downtime.
- Increase performance for Blue Coat WAN Optimization, Secure Web Gateway and SSL Decryption solutions.
- Decrease POC deployment timelines for ProxySG and shorten time to protection against cyber-threats.
- Braxton-Grant Technologies, a value-added reseller of Blue Coat and VSS Monitoring products, performed the integration testing of ProxySG appliances and Protector Series.
