Astaro Extends Upgrade Your PIX Promotion until Year’s End
Promotion offers 20% discount to users of outdated PIX appliances.
Burlington, MA - October 27, 2008 - Astaro (www.astaro.com), leading vendor of security appliances, today announced the extension of its popular Upgrade Your PIX promotion, allowing PIX users to trade in their outdated PIX firewall appliances and receive 20% off the list price on all Astaro hardware, software, and maintenance for 3 or 5 year agreements.
"Our continued success with the PIX promotion indicates that PIX users do indeed appreciate our easy migration path," says Jan Hichert, Astaro CEO. "We have extended the trade-in program to make sure that PIX users know there is an option available that can increase their protection and save them money versus the ASA path being offered by Cisco."
The pix line has enjoyed a large install base over the past 7 years, and the end-of-life / end-of-sale announcement leaves large numbers of customers and solution providers with a sudden void to fill regarding their network security needs. Astaro Security Gateway, delivering standard features such as unlimited SSL VPN clients and Intrusion Detection/Prevention, provides full network security protection for any network configuration and size.
