SurfConsole™
From the developers of Postmaster™ comes SurfConsole, a proxy server that works as a control system for optimizing work-related usage of Internet resources.
SurfConsole is a proxy server that enables multiple users to access the Internet simultaneously through one shared Internet connection. SurfConsole allows organizations to give controlled access to the Internet. Its features like "activity logging" and "white" and "black" lists of sites ensure that the web is used for only business purposes.
SurfConsole is part of the IQuinox corporate messaging suite. IQuinox provides complete Internet-based corporate messaging services - e-mail & Internet. It also provides security via gateway level anti-virus software. IQuinox helps in managing bandwidth as well as monitoring enterprise wide usage of Internet resources.
