[November 21, 2009] Campus Veolia Deploys Blue Coat Appliances to Deliver Videoconferencing Services Tweet Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Blue Coat Systems, Inc., a developer of Application Delivery Networking solutions, announced that Campus Veolia, the training center established by Veolia Environment, has deployed Blue Coat ProxySG appliances and ProxyClient software. As a result of the bandwidth savings, Campus Veolia can now provide videoconferencing services and broadcast video feeds to its 300 internal and 100 external users. Campus Veolia said it deployed Blue Coat ProxySG appliances together with Blue Coat WebFilter software to set, enforce and report on network users' compliance with corporate IT policies across the organization. Campus Veolia also deployed Blue Coat ProxyClient software to extend IT policy enforcement to all of its remote and mobile workers. Using the ProxySG appliance, Campus Veolia can analyze and filter Web traffic, including encrypted traffic, to protect its employees and optimize the delivery of critical business applications. Following the deployment of the Blue Coat solution, Campus Veolia reported it realized an immediate 40 percent reduction in bandwidth consumption. By blocking Web content and applications that do not comply with corporate IT policies, Campus Veolia optimized the performance of its business applications and significantly improved Web navigation. Campus Veolia also utilized the reclaimed network bandwidth capacity to deploy videoconferencing and broadcast video feeds to its employees. Campus Veolia uses the Blue Coat Reporter platform to provide a centralized, role-based view of all user activity. The customizable user interface allows IT managers to create and run reports charting cost per bit, user activity and likely malware sites and more. With the visibility into user behavior and network usage provided by the Reporter platform, Campus Veolia can optimize its network to meet the changing requirements of its business and employees. Blue Coat partner DCI managed the implementation and conducted user training to provide rapid time-to-value for Campus Veolia. Encouraged by the positive results of this initial deployment, Campus Veolia now plans to roll out the Blue Coat solution to other sites.
