St. Bernard Launches Family of Powerful Hybrid-Ready Appliances
New Hardware Offers 200% Performance Increase, Providing Foundation for Hybrid IM Security Solutions
| Source: St. Bernard
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - February 4, 2008) - St.
Bernard Software, Inc. (OTCBB : SBSW ), a global provider of security
appliances and on-demand solutions, including secure content management and
archiving, today announced the availability of its powerful new h-Series
hardware. Designed to meet the needs of enterprises of all sizes, the
iPrism 10h, 20h, 30h, 50h and 100h appliance models can effortlessly handle
demanding features such as anti-virus software.
Because of their high performance, the h-Series appliances future-proof
customers as they add more secure content management solutions, with room
to grow to meet their forthcoming needs. St. Bernard's Hybrid product
strategy consists of integrating on-premises appliances and on-demand
services into a security offering that best meets the needs of a given IT
environment.
St. Bernard's new appliances enable IT administrators to protect their
networks from security, regulatory, productivity and network-performance
risks associated with inappropriate use of Web, IM and P2P applications in
the workplace. Simple to configure, the products feature easier
administration and reduce time spent on maintenance.
"It took me less than 30 minutes to install the hardware, learn about its
management and configuration and have it fully set-up and running on my
network," said Brad Slavin, VP of network engineering and operations at
Skyriver, a converged communications service provider. "This
enterprise-grade appliance provides me with at least three times higher
performance over my existing solution. The product's scalability ensures we
will never need to replace it with another product as we grow our business
and client base."
"We asked our customers for input on their IT security pain points," said
Andrew Lochart, VP of marketing and product management at St. Bernard. "An
overwhelming number indicated that the use of HTTP, IM and P2P on their
networks is increasing. Our h-Series hardware not only provides them with a
secure solution that sits behind corporate firewalls, but also enables them
to meet their future security needs by seamlessly integrating additional
features into the existing appliance."
Each h-Series model uses the iPrism optimized operating system for
security, interoperability and performance. Customers who purchase or
upgrade to the h-Series models will be able to upgrade to the iPrism 6.0
software, launching in Q1 2008, at no extra charge.
Starting at $1,200, the h-Series appliances are available immediately. For
