Information technology has become central to the management of manufacturing functions that range from from finance and production to marketing and logistics. Adding to the challenge, manufacturers' production facilities, partners, and customers are increasingly spread across the globe requiring effective, secure data transmission between central and distributed locations.

Originally, most manufacturers hired specialists to custom integrate network security solutions. This has proven to be a costly and high-risk way to deploy network security. IT professionals at leading manufacturers are discovering that Celestix fully integrated appliance solutions and one-stop support for hardware and applications are the most effective way to deploy network security solutions with several benefits over "white box" integrations including fast time to deployment, low TCO, and high ease of management.

Celestix' growing family of appliance solutions for network security and optimization address the key network protection needs of manufacturers: protecting the core private network, secure connectivity with distributed stakeholders, protection from viruses and other malware, protecting endpoints, and others for true layered security.
