Blue Coat ProxySG 8100 Series

The Blue Coat ProxySG 8100 Series offers a high-end proxy appliance platform that enables even the largest enterprises to accelerate and protect applications across the distributed network. Located at the Internet gateway, the ProxySG 8100 platform prevents malware and unauthorized applications from compromising network security or performance.

As the core of an organization’s application delivery network infrastructure, the ProxySG 8100 provides controlled acceleration of business applications across the globally-distributed enterprise. Leveraging Blue Coat’s acceleration technology, the ProxySG 8100 enables branch office users to enjoy the same LAN-like performance and experience as those located at headquarters or the data center.

Deployed at the data center, the ProxySG 8100 accelerates web applications and content from origin Web servers, while securely isolating them from direct Internet access. Optional SSL services secure communications and off-load application servers from computationally-intensive processes.

Centralized policy administration is provided by Blue Coat Director, while Blue Coat Reporter provides log aggregation from multiple ProxySG appliances into concise reports to analyze web communications and policy enforcement.
