Director solves three challenges associated with application delivery networks. First, Director can automate the deployment of remote Blue Coat appliances during rollout, allowing appliances to be shipped to remote locations with only two IP address pre-configured, plugged in, and automatically populated with the latest policy and network topology for nearly instant setup. Second, once deployed Director allows easy monitoring of events within the application delivery network, including device status and events and critical changes in the flow of the network through a convenient dashboard. Finally, Director allows you to pre-stage policy to rapidly respond to sudden changes in the network, including disasters and outages, with plans thought out well in advance. Fast deployments, steady monitoring and rapid response make Blue Coat-enabled networks the most agile choice in Application Delivery.
