Total Cost of Ownership
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc.
(NYSE: MFE) today announced that it has joined the HP BladeSystem Solution
Builder Program, a community of more than 300 technology and service
providers working together to accelerate the deployment of customer-centric
solutions on HP BladeSystem architecture. McAfee's new Content Security
Blade Server is fully integrated with HP BladeSystem c-Class server blades.
"Through the HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program, McAfee can
leverage HP's industry-leading blade server technology to deliver security
solutions with accelerated deployment capabilities that are easier for our
customers to manage," said Paul Rolfe, vice president of technology
alliances at McAfee. "McAfee is committed to offering its customers
best-in-class solutions and uncompromised performance."
As e-mail volume and network traffic continue to increase, enterprises
are challenged to maintain sufficient scanning capacity and bandwidth.
Traditional solutions must be multiplied to meet this demand and often
require complex and expensive load balancers. The McAfee Content Security
Blade Server delivers the high performance organizations require and is
scalable to meet future needs. Built-in load balancers require no
configuration and make multiple scanning blades operate as if they were a
single unit.
McAfee Content Security Blade Server provides a high-performance
solution for malware, spam and other undesirable content entering or
leaving a network. The blade server design allows enterprises to lower
operational costs by reducing the need to purchase and manage multiple
point products. Blade servers are more efficient than traditional
appliances, allowing users to save, on average, up to 37.5 percent of rack
space, use 30 percent less power and cut cabling by up to 94 percent.
"Customers who manage high-volume network traffic from everyday
applications like e-mail can run their businesses more securely through
development efforts of companies like McAfee's," said Michael Kendall,
worldwide manager, BladeSystem Solution Builder Program at HP. "With
unlimited Web access and the large amounts of data produced from
applications like e-mail, customers are challenged to guard against
malware, spam and harmful viruses. Together, the BladeSystem c-Class and
the McAfee Content Security Blade Server provide customers improved
integrity of their business data."
The HP BladeSystem Solution Builder Program is a global community of
technology and service delivery providers who collaborate with HP and one
another to define, develop, deliver and deploy customer solutions built for
HP BladeSystem. Program members include independent hardware vendors,
independent software vendors, system integrators and service-oriented
resellers with a substantial SI practice and expertise in the rapidly
growing blade market.
