Sophos company, Astaro, has announced version 2 of Astaro RED 10 appliance. The new version offers additional features for securing remote locations and helps avoid potential lapses in security due to downtime.
Introduced in mid-2010, Astaro has sold over 8 600 RED units worldwide. According to the company, RED is the first security solution to offer complete and centrally managed unified threat management, and has been recognised as a revolutionary method for securing branch offices.
It gives organisations the ability to connect their remote locations to a central location within minutes, and without onsite technical expertise.
Using feedback provided by Astaro RED customers and Astaro's partner community, the company has made several enhancements to the product. The next step in the evolution of Astaro RED includes the addition of a USB port, dual firmware support and additional status LEDs, which allow for easier diagnostics.
Together, these enhancements make installing and managing branch office security even easier. The new revision is supported by all Astaro Security Gateway (ASG) software releases, starting from V7.508.
