GREAT BAY SOFTWARE RECEIVES ‘PRODUCT OF THE YEAR’ AWARD FROM COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS MAGAZINE
Beacon Endpoint Profiler Solution Recognized by National Technology Publication for its Innovation, Vision and Quality
Greenland, NH -- May 8, 2007 -- Great Bay Software, an innovator of NAC-enabled Endpoint Profiling security solutions for enterprise networks, today announced that Beacon, its flagship product, has been named “Product of the Year” by Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC) Communications Solutions magazine.
The seventh annual Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership and attention to detail. The most innovative products and services brought to market have been selected as recipients of this year’s Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their groundbreaking achievement. The Product of the Year review can be found on the Communications Solutions Web site (http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2007/04/30/2564473.htm).
"Great Bay has been recognized with a Product of the Year Award for their excellence in technological advancement and application refinement,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC president and group editor-in-chief for Communications Solutions. “They are committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments, and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."
Beacon Endpoint Profiler has made the end-goal of Network Admission Control (NAC) or network-based authentication deployment a reality for customers around the globe, including Baylor College of Medicine, Wentworth Institute of Technology, St. John’s Hospital and Reed Smith LLP, a top 15 international law firm. The groundbreaking technology used to build the program allows network administrators to locate, map and secure thousands of difficult-to-track endpoint devices such as IP phones, printers and biomedical devices—a crucial step in the successful installation of NAC systems.
“We built Beacon Endpoint Profiler to solve a specific problem that we were experiencing first-hand in the NAC consulting field, so we were confident in the product’s innovation and usefulness from the very beginning,” said Bob Durkee, vice president of marketing at Great Bay Software. “A contextual real-time inventory of every device, including non-Windows, non-authenticating devices such as printers and IP phones is a vital tool our partners and customers need to manage a network security deployment—not only for initial discovery prior to a NAC or 802.1X installation, but also in the ongoing management of the network. We are honored to be recognized by Communications Solutions for our innovation in this field.”
