Blue Coat Products Overview
 

Blue Coat Systems is focused on developing industry leading security appliances that protect, control and accelerate user access to Web information. Optimized for content-level security, the Port 80 Security Appliances allow organizations including ABN-Amro, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, Discover, Hitachi Data Systems, John Deere, and the U.S. Air Force to rapidly deploy applications such as content filtering, Web virus scanning, proxy caching and bandwidth management. Best practices security and granular control - without compromising network performance. 

The company's SG family of security appliances include the award-winning SG800, the SG400 and the SG6000 Series. These appliances are based on a custom operating environment, SGOS, that incorporates Blue Coat's Policy Processing Engine™ - a patent-pending framework for applying security, access, filtering and performance policies for any Web transaction. Unlike the operating environments of less sophisticated security appliances, Blue Coat's SGOS is not built from an existing, general-purpose operating system that has been stripped of non-essential functions. Rather, it is a purpose built, hardened OS for safeguarding and accelerating access to Web content. 

The SG400 enables corporations to extend Web traffic protection and control to the network edge, while significantly reducing the administration and management costs for securing a distributed enterprise. Both the SG800 and the SG6000 were designed to meet enterprise requirements for capacity, performance, availability and centralized management. While all three provide the same broad family of application support and features, the SG6000 provides an expandable, modular platform for customizing disk size, RAM and network interface cards.
