LONDON, September 16 /PRNewswire/ --
- Carrier-Class Managed Services Technology Enables Telecom Providers to Increase Their Competitive Advantage, Expand Their Portfolio of Services and Generate Additional Revenue
To meet the rapidly increasing demand for in-the-cloud security services, Optenet, a leading global IT security company, today announced the availability of its full suite of high-performance managed security solutions for UK service providers. Since its inception, Optenet has successfully provided in-the-cloud security solutions to some of the largest service providers across Europe, giving the company a unique level of expertise to offer the UK market.
Optenet's security technology is designed to enable various service providers - including security-as-a-service providers, hosted service providers, managed security service providers, ISPs, telecommunications service providers and mobile operators - to offer security to their enterprise and residential customers, enabling the providers to expand their portfolio of services, generate additional revenue and improve their competitive advantage.
"There is a rising demand for cloud-based security services," said Neil MacDonald, Vice President and Gartner Fellow. "Service providers are looking for solutions that enable them to deliver a wide range of security services capable of scaling up as necessary while remaining reliable and cost-effective."
Optenet's full suite of high-performance security software protects networks, desktops and mobile devices with security capabilities including: Web filtering, anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing and data leakage protection, anti-spyware ad filtering, malicious code detection, protocol management (i.e. IM, chat and P2P), MMS anti-spam and reporting tools. The heart of the integrated management platform is CCOTTA(TM) - the Carrier Class Optenet Transparent Traffic Analyzer - an intelligent classification engine that differentiates traffic and directs it to the appropriate security application based on administrative policies.
At the foundation of Optenet's service provider deployments is a carrier-class architectural design that is flexible, customisable and delivers the carrier-class performance and scalability that service providers demand. This architecture, unlike traditional one-to-many multi-tenant security services architectures, enables service providers to deliver policy-based, customised security down to the individual user - all from a single, centralised management console.
Some of the key benefits of Optenet's solution for service providers are:
-- Optenet's multi-tenant platform, which provides customisable security for enterprises and individual users, reducing initial capital expenditure and ongoing operational and maintenance costs;
-- Optenet's central management and distributed operation, which enables scalability to hundreds of thousands of users from a single location and radically reduces hardware, space and power requirements; and
-- High performance in the form of industry-leading accuracy, ultra-low latency and high availability.
"Security-as-a-service is gaining traction in the UK market as a viable alternative to hosted solutions because it addresses the growing trend toward cost-effectively customising services - something Optenet has offered its service provider customers for more than ten years," said Optenet's chief operating officer, Omar Aguirre. "Optenet's solutions are built on a carrier-class platform that enables nearly limitless scalability and flexible management. Our ability to arm our service provider customers with additional security features they can deliver to their end users has already cemented us as a leader in the European and Latin American markets."
