SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(EMWNews)–Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BCSI), the leader in WAN Application

Delivery and Secure Web Gateway, today announced that Banca

Popolare di Vicenza, the Italian flagship bank of the banking group

Bancario Banca Popolare di Vicenza, has selected Blue Coat^®

ProxySG^® appliances

for a combination of WAN optimization, to accelerate applications and

file access to branch offices, and integrated Web security and policy

control. The appliances will also manage and distribute corporate video

to employees in branch offices.

Banca Popolare di Vicenza has 630 branches throughout Italy with

approximately 5,500 employees. The initial deployments will be made in

branch offices from recent acquisitions or newly established by the

corporation. One requirement for the WAN optimization infrastructure was

the ability to be set up in new branches in a short time and to scale

for deployment in large numbers of sites.

Deploying Blue Coat ProxySG appliances in branch offices enables the bank’s

primary customer application, called Secnew, to operate correctly and

responsively for its tellers. The appliances also deliver programming

from the bank’s corporate television channel,

the BPViChannel, to branch office employees.

“We have satisfied the requirements of the

flagship bank through integrating seventy new branches in just a few

days and are now beginning steps to reach one hundred,”

said Carlo Finetto, assistant general manager of Servizi Bancari SpA,

the integrator appointed by Banca Popolare di Vicenza. “Our

new infrastructure assures the operational staff of each branch the

continuity of service they must have, together with improved operability.”

“Blue Coat provides a powerful solution for

companies and organizations to ensure that centralized applications are

responsive and operate effectively in branch offices,”

said Craig Stewart, vice president of sales, EMEA, Blue Coat Systems. “Included

in the same solution for WAN optimization is the ability to manage and

distribute corporate video throughout the organization and fully

integrated Web security and policy control. We are proud to have Banca

Popolare di Vicenza as a customer and to see it make full use of our

ProxySG appliances.”
