Integrated, multi-function business security solutions provider WatchGuard has launched WatchGuard XCS 880, an appliance that’s designed to offer efficient protection for email and web-based content.

XCS 880 is said to deliver 20% more processing power while reducing energy consumption to less than half compared to older models. In addition, improvements have been made to data storage, so the device is smaller and lighter than previous models.

It’s also worth noting that WatchGuard 880 comes with a redundant power supply which makes it more reliable.

The new appliance is designed to protect organizations against viruses, blended threats, and network attacks.

“Today’s enterprises deploy advanced messaging networks that move massive amounts of data through email and across the Internet into the corporate network. To keep suspect information out and sensitive information in requires a sophisticated content security strategy,” commented Roger Klorese, director of product management at WatchGuard.

“The XCS 880 is designed to simplify this core capability – by giving organisations an email security, privacy and compliance solution with best-in-class technology – while delivering enhanced performance, dramatic power reduction, and redundant power supplies.”
