Blue Coat Proxy-SG Appliances
The Blue Coat SG family of appliances delivers a scalable
proxy platform architecture to secure Web communications and
accelerate delivery of business applications.
Based on a custom, object-based operating system with integrated
caching and compression, these proxy appliances leverage existing
authentication systems to enable flexible policy enforcement
on content, users, applications and protocols.
Blue Coat SG appliances are typically deployed:
1. At the Internet gateway (forward proxy) to protect internal
users and networks from spyware, phishing attacks, inappropriate
web usage, and potential legal liability – while actually
improving web performance.
2. At the edge of an organization’s application delivery
infrastructure for controlled acceleration of key business
applications, including file services, rich media applications,
and e-mail.
3.In the DMZ (reverse proxy) to securely isolate web servers
from direct Internet access and accelerate web-based applications
and public websites.

Blue Coat AV Appliances
Blue Coat AV appliances enable organizations to detect
viruses, worms, spyware and trojans at the Web gateway,
with enterprise performance, manageability, and a choice
of AV engines.
Blue Coat’s efficient scan-once-serve-many-times
architecture scans up to 285 Mbps traffic with less than
10 milliseconds latency. Powerful proxy policy can prevent
the most unknown spyware as well. Layered protection on
HTTP, FTP and HTTPS protocols provides defense in depth
to stop zero-day attacks and prevent rootkit malware from
reaching desktops.
Blue Coat AV combined (as an ICAP+ client) with Blue Coat
SG provides scalability for virus scanning, plus complete
visibility and control of enterprise Web communications.

Blue Coat Director Appliances
Blue Coat Director enables policy, configuration, and device management for Blue Coat appliances. Built as a management appliance, Director reduces management cost and complexity by providing centralized management of Blue Coat appliances across the distributed, global enterprise. From a single easy to use Web interface administrators can deploy hundreds of appliances, monitor and enforce security policies and re-configure their distributed application delivery network to respond to emergencies with the click of a button.
Director solves three challenges associated with application delivery networks. First, Director can automate the deployment of remote Blue Coat appliances during rollout, allowing appliances to be shipped to remote locations with only two IP address pre-configured, plugged in, and automatically populated with the latest policy and network topology for nearly instant setup. Second, once deployed Director allows easy monitoring of events within the application delivery network, including device status and events and critical changes in the flow of the network through a convenient dashboard. Finally, Director allows you to pre-stage policy to rapidly respond to sudden changes in the network, including disasters and outages, with plans thought out well in advance. Fast deployments, steady monitoring and rapid response make Blue Coat-enabled networks the most agile choice in Application Delivery.
