Chris, Heather and I are at Interop 2009 in sunny Las Vegas this week, giving private demonstrations of the Napera online service for the Marvell Prestera switch and ISSR Converged Digital Office platforms announced on Monday. It’s been very busy so far — in fact, today we are booked out completely with meetings — and the interest levels have been extremely high.
Contact us via sales@napera.com if you would like to meet up and see the future of cloud based security services.
This morning we are excited to publicize many months of design and development work that has been going on behind the scenes at Napera and Marvell. As announced in today’s press release, Napera is collaborating with Marvell to deliver the Napera network security experience on Marvell’s Prestera DX and Integrated Secure-Switch-Router platforms. Marvell commands a large market share in the silicon that powers SMB and SME network products, and is the market leader in Ethernet switching silicon.
This is an exciting new paradigm that will enable millions of SMB and SME customers to enjoy the Napera security experience. The secret to creating this new solution was leveraging the high performance Sheeva CPU that Marvell has integrated in the Prestera DX line of switching silicon. Networking vendors who build products using Marvell can offer the Napera security service, delivered as part of Marvell’s production-ready Marvell Total Solution (MTS) software and silicon.

Napera scored a great review last week from Steve Hultquist at Infoworld, with an 8.2 score out of 10. This was great news coming on the heels of the other positive reviews we’ve received lately.
Steve was quick to recognize the power of leveraging cloud-based management and reporting in order to design a network security product that is easier to use and deploy. I was pleased to see we scored a perfect 10 on setup, and a very encouraging 9 out of 10 points on manageability and value.

Thanks to everyone who responded to our call for Napera Indigo beta testers back in February.
We accepted 120 applicants out of the 600 submissions we received. Over a six week period, beta testers around the US deployed and tested Indigo units on their networks. Our online service processed info on more than 6000 network devices in the first few weeks. The testers completed 771 surveys to tell us what they liked and didn’t like, and the value they saw in the Indigo product. The feedback was very positive, informed, constructive, and incredibly valuable to us during product development. Thank again to all the beta testers from the team here at Napera.
