ProxySG with WebPulse, the collaborative cloud defense uniting over 75M users for Web awareness and response to Web content and threats, creates a hybrid design providing the best of on-premise controls with the collective intelligence of cloud service. ProxySG deployed with Blue Coat WebFilter automatically includes the WebPulse cloud service and Blue Coat ProxyClient for remote user protection, filtering and acceleration.

ProxySG innovations in new hardware with multiple cores and the SGOS operating system with multi-threading provide six models of the 300 and 600 series for the right mix of price and performance. SGOS is a micro kernel built for Web object processing, secure and small in design, it rarely needs attention or patches, and it runs year after year at performance levels beyond the competition. Health checks and monitoring provide administrator awareness, plus Director enables centralized device, license and policy management of ProxySG Web gateways.
The Blue Coat security framework scales in many ways resulting in lower TCO for customers. The performance innovations require less hardware, rack space and power than alternative solutions. New defenses can be seamlessly added to the WebPulse cloud to scale the depth of protection. Expanding groups of remote users can accelerate their office communications with ProxyClient and be protected by WebPulse. Available reporting scales for visibility of all Web gateway and remote users with custom dashboards and reports on a single server with an included optimized database for up to 10 billion log lines.
