Social Networking Now Under Big Yellow's Control, Thanks to Bloxx

Overview

Big Yellow was having a problem with employees becoming addicted to Facebook and other social networking sites; visiting them to excess during working hours. Previously, Grinnall tried to use Microsoft ISA Server to manage web access. Big Yellow installed the Bloxx appliance as a proxy server on its network. The appliance was integrated with Microsoft Active Directory and is configured to filter web traffic depending on the end user. Bloxx web filtering technology is an easy, drop-in hardware solution which uses internationally patent pending technology to analyse and block web sites quicker and more accurately than other web filters using manual classification and keyword scoring alone.
