YOU Telecom to launch SME solutions

MUMBAI, INDIA: YOU Telecom has now taken broadband and leased line connections to the next level by announcing its partnership with Elitecore Technologies - a Carlyle Group funded company - to deliver Cyberoam's Identity-based Unified Threat Management appliances. With this partnership, YOU Telecom brings a strong and unique security solution to its leased line and SME customer base across India. YOU Telecom will now act as a System Integrator Partner for Cyberoam.

Cyberoam provides an award winning next-generation Identity-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance range, safeguarding enterprises against external and internal threats. Cyberoam offers comprehensive Internet security with firewall-VPN, gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-spam, intrusion detection and prevention, content filtering in addition to bandwidth management, multiple link management and on-appliance reporting over a single platform.

EVS Chakravarthy, CEO of YOU Telecom, states, “Through this strategic initiative with Cyberoam we would help our customers with a solution rather than just connectivity. This is in line with the world wide trend. SME businesses want their service providers to be their IT managers also. This partnership would fulfill that latent demand. Our customer response to this initiative has been terrific. This partnership would help YOU Telecom to build a strong competitive advantage and is in line with our objective to continuously add value to our customer's business.”

Bringing Cyberoam’s unique identity-based security to YOU Telecom’s leased line and SME customer base across the country is expected to generate revenue of 100 million. Cyberoam is the only UTM that gives information on who does what in the network, offering complete visibility into the network, which is critical to protecting enterprises from internal and external threats.
