To maximize employee productivity, organizations need to ensure a high quality Internet experience for users. In addition, enterprises need to implement content and user policies to manage Web traffic growth, while effectively using network resources.

But the performance degrades under today's heavy Internet and Intranet usage. In addition, as organizations look to maximize administration resources, the management, scalability and reliability of these existing software proxy servers demands improvement.
