Product Overview

Blue Coat provides a family of intelligent appliances, along with a suite of powerful software applications, that work together to give IT organizations the ability to effectively control security and performance for all users and applications. 

Blue Coat appliances are available in a broad range of configurations and are typically deployed in enterprise branch offices, Internet gateways, end points, and data centers – as well as in global service provider organizations.  The appliances provide intelligent points of control to secure Web communications and accelerate delivery of business applications (with MACH5 acceleration technology).  Just as important, Blue Coat gives IT organizations visibility and very granular control over security and performance, so that policies can set based on who, what, where, when, and how users and applications communicate with each other. 

Blue Coat appliances are powered by SGOS, a lightweight, purpose-built operating system designed to deliver optimum performance and unsurpassed security in terms of both user-application communications and administrative control.

All of this functionality is complemented by powerful management and reporting tools that make it fast and easy to deploy, configure, and administer Blue Coat appliances and technology throughout the distributed enterprise.
