Sydney Australia, 20th October 2009 – Clearswift, the web, email and content security firm, has announced 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 mean 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.

“All Clearswift customers benefit from knowing that our security solutions protect them from inbound threats and outbound data leakage” said Peter Croft, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Clearswift. “Furthermore, they get the added flexibility of being able to change the way they deploy the solution within their infrastructure.”

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 $2916 for a typical 50 user installation. This offer is available until 31st December 2009.
