The Market We Address

Reducing the high cost of security deployment
Delivering improved productivity and tangible cost savings is critical to success in today's challenging business environment. Managers have expressed a desire to rid their department of the costly burden of software installation and upkeep. IT departments can instead purchase plug-and-play appliances from Celestix and avoid continuous patch updates, complex configurations, and interoperability challenges. These burdens have been solved by Celestix to reduce TCO and operating costs. Celestix offers plug-and-play solutions for key security infrastructure requirements: firewall, branch-office connectivity, cache/proxy, wireless policies/authentication, remote access (SSL and traditional VPN), two-factor authentication, patch management, and anti-spam/anti-virus gateway deployments.
