Provide Centralized Configuration and Policy Management

Overview:

Blue Coat Director gives you the power, control and visibility to ensure the success of your ProxySG deployment. Thanks to Director’s single, easy-to-use web interface, you can configure and manage all your ProxySG appliances wherever they reside on your network.
