FaceTime's
Unified Security Gateway (USG) is a
secure Web gateway appliance purpose-built for the new Internet. USG
2.0 provides a single point of control for managing Web access, preventing
malware, controlling Web 2.0 applications and managing information leakage
in corporate networks. Unique to this new version, IT managers can detect
and control 1,400 Web 2.0 and real-time applications with the same granular
policies they have come to expect from dedicated URL filtering solutions.
"FaceTime recognizes that in these tough economic times, the channel can
easily be squeezed out by vendors looking to maximize their profits, and by
the end user looking to maximize their budget," said Sarah Carter of the
Channels team for FaceTime Communications. "With the FaceTime Stimulus
Package, combined with our Forget the Fees program, we're providing a great
incentive to IT departments to streamline their budgets, as well as
empowering the channel to create opportunities that we'll reward them for.
This program provides tremendous value by offering malware prevention and
application control in addition to URL filtering, for less than the cost of
URL filtering alone."
The FaceTime Stimulus Package is built around FaceTime's current Forget the
Fees program to eliminate initial URL filtering fees on new purchases of
its Unified Security Gateway (USG) appliance. With this program, a
1,000-seat organization can save up to $35,000 over a two year contract
period based on typical industry pricing, while deploying a more complete
secure Web gateway solution that not only monitors Web browsing traffic but
also controls Web 2.0 applications, blocks malware at the gateway and
enables the safe and productive use of real time use of the Internet --
from social networks to instant messaging.
The Forget the Fees program is
available on new contracts signed before April 30, 2009. Channel Partners
should contact FaceTime at 888-349-FACE or register for the new Forget the
Fees Channel Program it URL.
