A security device with an extra kick.
Blue Coat gateway appliances can accelerate WAN applications anywhere from ten to one hundred times while reducing the amount of bandwidth required to deliver a quality end user experience.
ProxySG's object-based operating system enables flexible policy control over content, users, applications and protocols.
The SG addresses some of the toughest application latency challenges: chatty file services and applications; encrypted SSL applications; streaming and on-demand video; excessive backhaul of Internet traffic; sluggish data center backups; and fast application delivery to mobile users.
ProxySG offers traffic prioritization capabilities for better use of bandwidth.
Managers assign priority and network resources based not only on port or device, but on applications and content as well to more accurately reflect corporate policies on the network.
ProxySG squelches chatty protocols.
ProxySG improves the performance of network-inefficient protocols applying specific enhancements that make them more tolerant to the higher latencies typically found on the WAN.
Blue Coat was founded on intelligent caching and it's still where they achieve the greatest efficiencies.
Byte Caching
The Proxy SG caches repetitive traffic found in the byte stream and serves it locally to reduce the amount of traffic that uses the WAN at all.
Object Caching
Appliances store files, videos and Web content locally, providing LAN-like performance for WAN users, without the overhead and risk of traditional wide area file services.

ProxySG complements caching with compression to achieve LAN-like speeds.
Inline compression can reduce predictable patterns even on the first pass of a data object, making it an ideal complement to byte caching technology.
