BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The InstaGate EX2 firewall/VPN
security appliance from eSoft, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESFT) has earned recognition as a
Computer Reseller News (CRN) "recommended" product from the CRN Test Center at
PC Expo 2001. The CRN Test Center review found the InstaGate EX2
exceptionally easy to setup and an excellent product for solution providers.
According to the review, "Solution providers couldn't ask for a simpler
procedure for installing and configuring the unit out of the box. The
InstaGate EX2 is simple for solution providers and effective for companies
using the system."
"A recommendation from the CRN Test Center is great recognition for eSoft
and the InstaGate EX2," said Jeff Finn, president and CEO of eSoft. CRN
engineers are known for their rigorous testing and earning a "recommended"
seal of approval is important for eSoft, our channel partners and our
customers. We are particularly pleased that our efforts to simplify
implementation of network security are being recognized as an important aspect
of a total solution."
eSoft's InstaGate EX2 provides customers with a bulletproof firewall,
virtual private networking capabilities and simple installation. The EX2 also
supports value-added subscription tools and services -- called SoftPaks --
which are delivered via a revolutionary software distribution process known as
SoftPak Director. This patent-pending process provides an easy-to-use
interface that is managed entirely over the Internet. The interface provides
customers with instant updates on product information and the ability to
download new SoftPaks and maintenance upgrades.
The test center recognition earns eSoft, one of the fastest growing
companies in the firewall/VPN marketplace, the right to promote the InstaGate
EX2 as a CRN Test Center Recommended product.
