I am not writing to you to threaten your life or punch you in the chin, but merely just to ask you for a briefing at IP08.
Trent Fitz, VP of marketing at Mirage Networks, is available for briefings October 1, 2 and 3 and several of our customers would be available for questions as well. (customers include: British Transport Police, NorthGate, John Wiley, Xyratex, and SAGA)
Mirage Networks is announcing a green suite of products this week (draft of release below, final to go out tomorrow) and have recently received a notice of allowance for a third US patent.
NAC appliances basically help companies secure their IT Infrastructure by controlling all the devices that require networks access. The Mirage NAC scans each device before admission to the network to ensure compliance with policy and we monitor the behavior of each device after admission. If at any time the device falls out of compliance, we quarantine it and send it off for remediation.
Please let me know if I can provide more information or set up a time to meet with Trent at the show. (He is from Oklahoma, so maybe a punch in the chin can follow a few pints or maybe a fishing expedition if that would be of interest! http://www.blinkx.com/video/how-real-men-catch-fish/30i6VzcAGpzB6UZFegGrtg

EMBARGOED: Mirage Networks Launches Green Product Line
New Appliances Offer Increased Performance While Decreasing Power and Cooling Requirements
Austin, Texas – Sept. 23, 2008 – Mirage Networks, developer of patented, full-cycle Network Access Control (NAC) technology, today announced the release of a new “green” product suite that gives customers increased performance while drastically improving energy efficiency. The new appliances provide a solution for customers who must address the rapidly increasing costs of powering and cooling data centers as required by local, state and federal mandates.
According to Mirage, up to 40 percent of data center operating costs are power and cooling-related expenses, ranking second just below labor. Mirage’s latest solution eases that financial burden for customers by improving the performance per watt — or how fast a unit does its work and how much energy it consumes in the process – of NAC appliances. Benchmarks have shown the new green product line offers a performance per watt improvement of nearly 700 percent. This includes a 740 percent boost in pure performance with a decrease in power consumption of 20 percent, and a reduction in cooling needs by 26 percent. Energy for cooling is a significant part of energy consumed.
Mirage’s new green product line addresses the needs of customers who are subject to local, state and federal mandates requiring organizations in various sectors to reduce energy consumption. A typical Fortune 1000 using Mirage’s solution can reduce power and cooling requirements by 20 percent and surpass the requirements of most mandates.
“While there are clear environmental benefits to more energy efficient products, the tangible cost savings are what are really driving customers to go ‘green’,” said David Thomas, vice president of products for Mirage Networks. “From consumer game consoles to high-end supercomputers, companies in all areas of computing are pursuing green IT initiatives . We are proud to continue our leadership in the space by delivering the first NAC products that address this need.”
Mirage’s NAC solution enables maximum network performance by controlling network access, isolating non-compliant and threatening endpoints, and providing self-remediation capabilities. Mirage’s network-based solution is the easiest NAC solution to deploy, as it requires no agent software, deploys virtually inline, and works in any network environment
Mirage solutions are made available through Authorized ChannelFirst Partners and can also be delivered as a managed service.
