About ConSentry Networks

To succeed in today’s global economy, companies have adopted a series of new business practices to improve their agility, accountability and competitive standing. These tools and processes include increased collaboration with partners, outsourcing and offshoring, greater use of contractors for a more flexible workforce, improved automation, and a whole-hearted embrace of digitally stored data and other intellectual property.

These new practices impact companies’ networks, diversifying the users, devices, and applications running on them. At the same time, accountability demands have increased, as companies need to meet industry or government regulations, adhere to best practices, and ensure high employee productivity. IT has stuggled to simultaneously support a more open network environment while retaining the controls needed to protect data and systems and delivering business-critical applications effectively.

To date, the tools available to IT to deliver user and application control have been limited and have been bolted onto existing infrastructure, creating an operational burden too great to maintain. To support both user and application control, IT needs a new generation of switching that provides these features as an inherent part of the architecture rather than as add-on, dis-jointed tools. Only with this type of intelligent switching can IT use its limited resources effectively to control, service, and audit users and applications on the LAN.

ConSentry Networks is leading the delivery of intelligent switching. Customers around the globe have adopted our intelligent switching – which ties together users, applications, and policy dynamically – to deploy security and application delivery services across their organizations. As a result, these enterprises have been able to capitalize on today’s new business practices to better compete – improving the visibility, control, and performance of users and applications and without complicating operations or compromising security.

ConSentry Networks, Inc. was founded in 2003 and is based in Milpitas, California. The company has received funding from Accel Partners, DAG Ventures, INVESCO Private Capital, Sequoia Capital, Teacher's Private Capital and Translink Capital.
