Boggs Paving Finds Concrete Victory with Astaro RED
Boggs Paving was using an Astaro Security Gateway 220 at their headquarters. However their remote offices depended on individual anti-virus software to protect their remote networks. These solutions required a yearly subscription renewal and with four remote office locations the renewal processes was becoming difficult to manage. Boggs Paving deployed an Astaro RED at each of their four branch offices.
"RED has allowed us to provide sophisticated network security at our remote offices that was deployed quickly and controlled at the main office. What more could I ask?"
- Ray Brown, IT Manager, Boggs Paving

The Parish of Caddo in Louisiana is using the Astaro Security Gateway software version on hardware the city already owned. The Parish plans on replacing all UTM devices at remote locations with Astaro REDs because of the cost and time savings the Parish has seen with its current RED deployment.
"Because it was easy to set up and all three devices could be managed from a central location it was the perfect solution for our remote office connectivity issue."
- Kerry Kirby, Information Systems Manager, Parish of Caddo

Cloud Service Keeps Wood County Down to Earth
As a government institution Wood County in Texas is required by government regulations to archive all inbound and outbound emails for at least 90 days.

Using the Astaro Mail Archiving service, Wood County was able to meet government email archiving requirements as well as their responsibilities towards the county’s citizens.

Coastal Pacific Xpress makes the logical choice
Coastal Pacific Xpress was using a compilation of hardware and software security products from Microsoft, Symantec and Cisco to secure the organization’s network.
