Astaro Now Certified on Intel Modular Server Platform

Astaro Corporation, a company which is specializing in Internet security solutions, is getting a wider visibility with the recent certification of its flagship product, the Astaro Security Gateway, on the Intel (News - Alert) Modular Server platform through the Intel Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel ESAA) program.
 
The Intel Modular Server platform has support for up to six hot-swappable Intel Xeon processor-based compute modules and features integrated storage and networking.
 
The Intel ESAA program is an effort to create a link between Intel and Independent Software Vendor (ISV) members, allowing the reseller members to deliver pre-tested, high-quality Intel-based server solutions. The program allows its members to increase their visibility and compete on a global stage.
 
Through its Intel ESAA program membership, Astaro (News - Alert) will provide an additional Network Security deployment option for organizations that seek the benefits and cost savings of consolidating server and network resources. The Intel ESAA is a resource for pre-validated software and hardware products.
 
As a member of this program, Astaro can offer its Astaro Security Gateway (News - Alert) software appliance on the Intel Modular Server platform. Astaro Security Gateway software is a unified threat management solution which integrates complete Network, Web and Mail Security including including Firewall Protection, SSL VPN, Intrusion (News - Alert) Prevention, Content (URL) Filtering, Email Filtering, and IM/P2P Traffic Management, etc., all through an intuitive browser-based user interface.
 
"We are excited to work with Intel to provide additional Astaro Security Gateway deployment options to customers as well as partners that service the SMB marketplace," said David Rogers, director of sales and original equipment manufacturer at Astaro.
 
"This certification provides additional flexibility for customers who need the advanced capabilities of the Intel Modular Server Platform combined with award winning Network Security, such as the Astaro Security Gateway--it is a great combination, and we are looking forward to expanding our relationship with Intel.”
 
"Membership in the Intel ESAA program gives resellers the ability to achieve Astaro certification and deliver the Astaro Security Gateway software appliance on the Intel Modular Server platform," said David Brown (News - Alert), marketing director of Intel Enterprise Platforms and Services Division.
 
Brown also mentioned that this membership provides a powerful value-added proposition to small and medium sized businesses.
