Blade Fusion Joins Aladdin Secured Solution Partner Program

Aladdin Knowledge Systems Inc and Blade Fusion Technologies Ltd announced a partnership that enables Blade Fusion's multi bladed security appliance customers to easily deploy Aladdin's eSafe content security solution on their fully automated security gateway. The partnership also adds Blade Fusion as the latest member of the Aladdin Secured Solution Partner Program.

The integration offers customers an unparalleled combination of Aladdin eSafe, a comprehensive, fully-integrated content security solution, and Blade Fusion's IP-X multi bladed platform. The Aladdin-Blade Fusion integration results in powerful, robust HTTP traffic scanning and comprehensive security for Web-based malicious code, active content and viruses. Blade Fusion's customers can now also benefit from eSafe's integrated traditional anti-virus engine with proactive technologies that protect against sophisticated viruses and against completely new malicious code, vandals, worms and Trojans.

Based on IBM's leading blade server, the IBM eServer BladeCenter, the Blade Fusion IP-X 1000 product is the first multi-bladed appliance to run on two-way Xeon 3.2G blades. The IP-X 1000 provides multi-gigabit performance, redundancy at all system levels and for all elements (hardware, network and applications.) Servicing and upgrades are easier and safer with true hot-swap capabilities. Blade Fusion's IP-X 1000 also reduces costs in comparison to alternative security solutions manually assembled from multiple individual appliances, load balancers and switches.

"We are pleased that eSafe is now offered on Blade Fusion's multi bladed security appliance, as the partnership enables Aladdin and Blade Fusion to offer a robust HTTP scanning solution with maximum performance," said Shimon Gruper, vice president of technologies for the Aladdin eSafe Business Unit. "While running on a leading server, the overall solution is faster, cheaper and more cost-effective than existing solutions."

"By integrating with Aladdin's eSafe, Blade Fusions' IP-X solutions offer one of the most complete content security solutions that exist in the market today," said Amir Barnea, CEO of Blade Fusion Technologies Ltd. "In just a few minutes of set up time our customers receive a single high availability security gateway integrating eSafe's content security solution. While running on industry standard blade servers instead of expensive proprietary hardware, Blade Fusion's customers enjoy superior performance, scalability, warranties and support."
