Multiple-site solution improves visibility and streamlines reporting and policy management of Internet usage company wide

SALT LAKE CITY, May 5, 2010 - Cymphonix^®, a leader in Secure Web Gateway solutions, today announced the release of a centralized management and reporting appliance called the Cymphonix Network Conductor^TM that provides a single centralized interface for up to 100 Cymphonix Network Composer^® EX appliances. Cymphonix Network Conductor significantly improves visibility and streamlines reporting and policy management of Internet usage across an organization.

"Our customer base has consistently shown strong interest in being able to centrally view and manage their entire organization's Internet usage through a single integrated appliance," said Brent Nixon, CEO of Cymphonix. "We're pleased to release the Network Conductor product line in concert with our entirely new Network Composer suite to meet this market demand. Our Composer appliance already combines previously separate reporting, security and management functions into a single gateway; and now our Network Conductor line similarly integrates every location into a single management interface for unprecedented organizational visibility and control."

From the Web-based interface of the Cymphonix Network Conductor, customers have one easy-to-use view of the broadest summary reports and the most granular details that reveal up-to-date aggregated visibility into threats, network efficiency and user productivity. Detailed reports can include user activity, application traffic and potential Internet threats. An organization can report and control up to 100 EX Network Composer appliances from a single Network Conductor interface, providing better security and Web optimization through multidimensional policy enforcement while eliminating the need to correlate incomplete sets of data from multiple appliances.

"As a managed service provider, we have a more critical need than most to be able to oversee multiple locations and clients quickly and easily.  With Cymphonix Network Conductor, we finally found a single appliance that allows us to provide an unmatched managed service solution for our clients," said James Brummer, director of Managed Services for Connecting Point.  "We present a very challenging environment for any centralized management and distributed administration platform but with Network Conductor we can easily tailor Internet policies to match the different needs of our clients.  After thorough testing of Cymphonix Network Conductor across multiple locations, we have scaled this solution across our entire enterprise.  This lets us provide tailored solutions to clients to maximize their Internet resource use and employee productivity."

Cymphonix Network Conductor correlates data by appliance, zones, locations and users across five to 100 locations with EX Network Composers. Through a single Network Composer array, administrators can create Internet usage policies in one location and push them to all other locations as well as delegate local visibility and policy management to individual on-site IT personnel. Cymphonix Network Conductor enables automated reports to notify key individuals about network activity, accesses real-time reports and historic views, and correlates data to determine patterns and trends throughout a multiple-site organization.

Cymphonix Network Conductor is built on a 64-bit architecture using Intel^® Dual-Core or Quad-Core processors and available in three models with memory and storage levels that scale according to an organization's size.
