What is it ?
Multi-tenant architecture
White label ready
Standards based / Easy integration (RESTful API)Internet Content Adaption Protocol (ICAP)
SaaS web filtering solutionwww.cloudwebfiltering.com
Low bandwidth overhead / Low latency experience
Key components of the platform
• Policy enforcement and arbitration, URL categorisation, scheduling, raw log file collection
ICAP Server
• Log file post-processing, optimisation, data aggregation
Log processor
• Web based application for customers to configure and manage the web filtering service (Rich Internet Application)
Portal
• Standards based REST API for integrating 3rd party applications / web applications with the platform
RESTful API
• Windows software installed on the end-user computer to enable native ICAP communication with the platform, for increased speed, latency and reduced bandwidth overhead
Cloud Link client software
Example topology
The ICAP advantage
• Open standards – compliant with 3rd party cache engines / IDS servers / Routers
• Scalable – multiple ICAP servers to service requests & responses from single cache
• More efficient than HTTP proxying
• Special “Preview” and “204 responses” designed to reduce traffic/bandwidth
Performance
• Each ICAP instance with 1 CPU core can handle up to 10,000 persistent connections
• User lookup cache can handle hundreds of thousands of different users
• URL categorisation ~50,000 transactions per second (2.5GHz x64 AMD core)
Centralised management
• Cloudwebfiltering.com web control panel can be branded to suit your business
Cloud Link client
• Small footprint, runs as background service• “Single sign on” identifies users as they browse• Simple to install (MSI package)• Tray app for easy configuration or command line tool for
scripting• “Fail open” option• Local bypass of hosts and applications
RESTful API
• Develop your own portal
• Integrate into an existing portal
• Use the service in different and unique ways
• HTTP based API• JSON format• Ideal for use with ExtJS, Jquery, etc
