Appliance deployment advantages:

  • Simple deployment V-Series appliances are preconfigured and fully tested security systems that are ready to deploy in minutes. No need for you to manually specify compatible hardware, install software, configure operating system variables, or test the system prior to deployment.
  • Easy updates Our V-Series appliances simplify future system updates. When we update our products, your entire system is also upgraded, with no need for manual updates to underlying operating system software.
  • Single-contact support Websense supports all aspects of V-Series appliances, so you have one point of contact for your hardware, software, and operating system.
  • Security hardened Websense appliances come preconfigured to eliminate vulnerabilities from unnecessary software, open ports, default logins, etc. This eliminates another time-consuming task and not only accelerates deployment, but also enhances security.
  • Simplified management The Websense TRITON™ Console lets you manage CPU, memory, software services, hardware alerts and other processes from TRITON's user-friendly graphical interface. No need to interact (via command line or otherwise) with underlying hardware and operating system variables.
  • Hardware consolidation V-Series appliances support deployment of web security, email security, and data loss prevention on a single appliance. Hardware consolidation lowers capital costs, simplifies management, reduces rack space, and even cuts power requirements.
  • Optimized for performance and reliability V-Series appliances are pre-configured to meet specified performance requirements. They also include unique clustering technology that can simplify deployment of redundant, load-balanced clusters.

Large enterprise? Need more power?

Websense X10G Model

The Websense X10G™ blade server is the only secure web gateway with enough power to enable large enterprises to run the real-time contextual defenses needed for an effective containment defense against advanced attacks and data theft. In the past, speedy enterprise security was easy because it's trivial to deliver selective analysis, cloud-assist ratings that are blind to private content, and traditional AV. But the world has changed and now includes social networking private pages and the increasing use of SSL for consumer and enterprise cloud applications. Now you need real-time inline defenses. You need more power to run your inline defenses. You need the Websense X-Series appliance and the real-time composite defense assessments of inbound and outbound traffic that you can support with the X10G model.
