Since 2008 the vendor of Web security solutions – CYAN Networks – offers its CYAN Secure Web, a proxy server with Web and content security as an appliance solution. This solution stands out for its ability to easily and quickly connect two or more machines to a high available and load balanced cluster system. The growing number of installed solutions perfectly reflects the current market trends and requirements.


The availability of the Internet access has become a critical issue for many business processes. This issue is no longer a relevant topic only for large enterprises, but it has also found its way into the small and medium businesses.

The requirements upon cluster systems are numerous and often vary from one company to the other. The system of CYAN Networks, which is built in a very modular architecture, smoothly adapts to this varying requirements.


With the deployment of the appliance solution, a cluster system is set up in just a few minutes with minimum effort. CYAN Networks also meets the requirements of the customer who does not want to abdicate from the existing hardware supplier / solutions. In this case the team of CYAN Networks provides support with the installation and setup and provides the know-how in practical workshops in which all fault scenarios of a cluster system are run through. In the end of this training the customer receives a system that is ready for the rollout.

Apart from load balancing, the aim of large enterprises is to gain maximum data throughput. Consequently, the requirements for the hardware have become more and more relevant. In order to achieve an optimal utilization for the systems, the components like anti-virus engine or the reporting system can be distributed throughout multiple hardware devices.
