April 2010 - Telarus Hosted Proxy
TELARUS LAUNCHES TELARUS HOSTED PROXY
Offers businesses web security and ability to manage & analyse traffic
SYDNEY, Aust. – 28 April, 2010 – Telarus, the leading provider of Private Cloud Computing solutions in Australia and New Zealand, today announced the launch of a new managed service offering - Telarus Hosted Proxy. The new offering provides business customers with a comprehensive service platform to secure, manage and analyse their web traffic.
Telarus Hosted Proxy is powered by Zscaler and has been fully integrated into Telarus’ Private Cloud Computing Platform. Managed through a web browser, it enables SME businesses to define and apply Internet policies for staff, as well as monitor usage at the business, department or user level. It also provides protection against web-borne viruses and other malicious content.
The service enables businesses to secure their remote offices without the need for on-site hardware, and view the web activity for all of their sites through a single portal. Businesses can also apply corporate internet policy for all of their employees, regardless of whether they are accessing the Internet from their head office, a coffee shop or overseas.
The service seamlessly integrates into Telarus’ Trans-Tasman MPLS network in order to provide consistently high performance with no noticeable increase in latency. As it is part of the Telarus Private Cloud Computing Platform, businesses are not required to purchase any hardware or software, taking pressure off CAPEX budgets.
Telarus Hosted Proxy is well equipped to deal with Web 2.0 content such as social networking sites. For example, it can be configured to allow users to browse sites such as Facebook, whilst disabling their ability to post content including comments and photos, except during designated hours such as lunchtime.
By applying appropriate policies through the intuitive web interface, Telarus Hosted Proxy will block, throttle or allow access to the web as required. As the web content is returned to the browser, Telarus Hosted Proxy scans the page content for a range of malware threats before delivering clean traffic to the end user.
“Telarus Hosted Proxy is a vital tool for businesses that are struggling to effectively manage their Internet traffic and to protect themselves against web-borne viruses and malicious content. The Internet is a business critical resource these days but without appropriate tools in place, many businesses are a seeing sharp rise in access costs, problems with staff productivity and significant security challenges,” said Jules Rumsey, CEO of Telarus.
Jay Chaudhry, Founder and CEO of Zscaler said,"Telarus is an ideal partner for Zscaler. Telarus has integrated Zscaler technology into its ground-breaking Private Cloud Computing Platform in order to incorporate our industry-leading web security technology into its solutions."
The Global Financial Crisis has significantly impacted CAPEX budgets, causing many companies to park projects for an extended period of time. However in many cases such projects are vital to ensuring the performance and security of corporate IT infrastructure. Hosted services like Telarus Hosted Proxy take the pressure off CAPEX budgets, offer long-term cost efficiencies and enable IT staff to make best use of their time.
“Growing dependence on the Internet coupled with rapidly evolving security threats makes it critical for businesses to have the best possible security platforms. Telarus Hosted Proxy offers customers a best-of-breed web security solution with no capital cost and low running costs. The service is continuously being updated to deal with the latest threats, offering significant peace of mind to customers,” concluded Rumsey.
