SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Blue Coat Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:BCSI), the technology leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced it will participate in a complimentary virtual tradeshow on WAN optimization organized by TechTarget, an integrated media outlet for IT professionals. The Blue Coat presentations are intended to help enterprises learn to manage business-critical applications on a 21st century network.

Blue Coat solutions offer an Application Delivery Network infrastructure that optimizes and secures the flow of information to any user, on any network, anywhere. This fuels a sustainable competitive advantage for distributed enterprises. The Application Delivery Network complements the packet-centric network to provide the in-depth application intelligence required to optimize and secure the delivery of business applications across the distributed enterprise. When enterprises implement an Application Delivery Network they are able to see what is running on their networks; thus, they can accelerate business critical applications, stop malicious threats or non-productive applications and prioritize and manage discretionary traffic. The Application Delivery Network is based on the combination of visibility, acceleration and security.

The online presentations are designed to show businesses how to boost the effectiveness of critical enterprise processes, while controlling networking costs and protecting users and information from malware and malicious threats. In addition, guests can visit the Blue Coat virtual trade show booth to converse with Company representatives.
