Britestream Networks Announces "Britestream Applied" Solution Set
Offering for Microsoft ISA Server 2004
New Solution Delivers Enhanced SSL Performance and Fortified Security
AUSTIN, Texas - October 3, 2005 - Britestream Networks, the leading
provider of hardware-based data privacy solutions , today announced the
enhancement of its Britestream Applied: Windows Server System program by
announcing the additional support of ISA Server 2004.
This extends Britestream 's commitment to supporting the Window Server
Systems. With the Britestream solution installed, ISA can offer
fortified security to key Microsoft application servers like: Exchange,
SharePoint Portal Services and IIS.
SSL-based encryption has become the predominant method of providing
privacy and confidentiality for data in transit. However, implementing
SSL in software can leave applications vulnerable to attacks and require
updates which can negatively impact the performance of the server. With
the Britestream Applied Windows Server System Edition, SSL can be turned
on by default in more server applications for the secure transmission of
data, both inside and outside the network.
"This product offering is the next logical step in our Britestream
Applied program," said Gordon Daugherty, CMO of Britestream. "ISA 2004
represents a key application security platform for Microsoft customers.
We are very excited to be able to enhance both the performance and
security of the ISA Server."
Collective Technologies headquartered in Austin, Texas is a Microsoft
Gold Certified partner and one of Britestream's Gold Certified channel
partners. They were an integral part of the early evaluation program and
they will be among the first to integrate it into their service
offerings.
"We are very please d to be able to integrate this Britestream solution
into our Microsoft-based solution offerings," said David Leonard , VP of
the Infrastructure Services Group at Collective Technologies. "This
represents a critical security and performance enhancement for all ISA
Server 2004 users."
Security for ISA 2004
Adding the Britestream SSL security Network Interface Card (NIC) to an
ISA Server provides a simple way to add fortified security and to extend
the end-to-end secure connection to both remote and internal users.
Britestream securely stores the encryption keys and certificates within
the tamper-resistant chip. Only authenticated users can then gain access
to the key.
Scalable Performance for ISA 2004
Very often ISA Server is used as an application firewall for high volume
transaction web sites or Exchange environments. SSL is often used as the
default method to secure transmissions from the browser or Outlook
client. The Britestream SSL security NIC offers 100% offload and
termination for this extremely processor intensive function. It
completely offloads the SSL termination and processing from ISA allowing
it to do its deep packet inspection of the data. Together, Britestream
and ISA Server offer superior security and performance, with no penalty
for simply activating SSL. IT administrators can choose among
Britestream's supported advanced cryptographic functions, including RSA
key sizes of up to 4K and a variety of encryption algorithms.
Britestream Applied Windows Server System Edition is available now from
Britestream authorized channel partners. For more information please
