WOBURN, MA--(Marketwire - March 31, 2010) - In response to McAfee's announcement, which quietly delivered notice to the end-of-life of its popular SnapGear Firewall Appliances, Cyberoam (www.cyberoam.com), a leading vendor of unified threat management (UTM) security appliances, today announced their "Trade-in Your SnapGear" program, offering 20% off the list price on SOHO Cyberoam UTM "Accelerator Series" appliance models CR 15i, CR25ia, and CR35ia. These high-value, low-priced appliances are ideal for channel partners and meet the price-performance-security requirements of small- and medium-sized (SMB) businesses and branch offices.
The Cyberoam Trade-In program is a great opportunity for SnapGear customers to upgrade to Cyberoam's leading identity-based security solutions and trade-up to increased network performance, improved security and its industry-leading innovation of identity-based security.
Alex Quinonez, Cyberoam vice president, said, "Cyberoam UTM's ease-of-use and comprehensive feature set has always made us an effective migration path for obsolete firewall users. While the sudden and quiet announcement has left our partners, who are also Snapgear distributors and partners, in the lurch, the silver lining is that it is an opportune time for selling Cyberoam, as end-of-life firewalls mean increased probability of hardware failure, unreleased security and bug fixes, and failure of new applications as patches and upgrades stop coming."
The SnapGear range has enjoyed a large install base over the past few years and the end-of-life announcement leaves large numbers of customers and solution providers with a sudden void to fill regarding their network security needs.
