Clearswift welcomes Blue Coat, former SurfControl customers (Local distributor: Biodata IT)

By Biodata
Johannesburg, 22 Oct 2009

Biodata IT, local distributor of the UK-based security firm Clearswift, informs that it will offer Clearswift Web Appliance to Blue Coat and former SurfControl customers who now find they are facing an expensive migration away from their obsolete platforms.

The offer enables the affected customers to trade in their existing Web gateway for Clearswift Web Appliance and pay only for support and update subscriptions.

Clearswift Web Appliance provides the customer with a range of deployment options - on new hardware, as a soft appliance utilising existing hardware or as a production-ready virtualised appliance on VMware's ESX and ESXi platforms. This level of choice means changes to infrastructure are controlled by the customer and not enforced by proprietary hardware vendors.

As a tightly integrated Web gateway, Clearswift Web Appliance offers inbound/outbound http and https content scanning, compliancy checks against GLBA, HIPPA, SEC & SOX, Malware/Spyware protection, full URL filtering and integrated data loss prevention. All of these features are managed from a single user interface on a single appliance resulting in further performance and efficiency savings when compared to competitive solutions.

Customers can benefit from further efficiencies and productivity enhancements within their organisations by deploying Clearswift Email Appliance with Clearswift Web Appliance, creating a unified secure solution to manage their digital communication channels.

The price for a year's support and update subscriptions on Clearswift Web Appliance starts at R17 500 - for a typical 50-user installation. This offer is available until 31 December 2009.

To find out more about this offer, please call De Jean Bosman at Biodata IT on 011 234 3650.
