8e6 Technologies, a provider of appliance-based Internet
Filtering and Reporting solutions, has begun shipment of an
updated versions of its flagship R3000 Enterprise Filter and
Enterprise Reporter.

The R3000 Enterprise Filter was released in November 2003 and
was a replacement for the company's R2000 appliance. These
appliances are in use by thousands of customers worldwide.

Some of the key features added to the R3000 in this release
include:

Real-Time Probe; allows an administrator to monitor a
user's Internet usage in real time to determine if that
user is using the Internet appropriately. Reports
generated by the probe can be emailed for further review.

"X-Strike" blocking; Administrators can set criteria for
blocking a user's access to "unacceptable" Internet sites
and locking a user's workstation after the user makes a
specified number of attempts to access such sites.

Google Safe Search; Can block access to inappropriate
content within the Google search engine

Customer Feedback Module (CFM) – This "auto learning"
feature lets the most frequently visited non-categorized
URLs from participating customers on a daily basis. The
selected URLs will be reviewed and added to 8e6's
standard library categories.

SNMP – SNMP compliance allows network administrators to
use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor
R3000s their networks. SNMP can monitor: traffic
sent/received, CPU load, amount of free disk space, time
since last reboot, and memory use.

In addition to the new version of the R3000, 8e6 is also
releasing the Enterprise Reporter 3.5. This upgrade includes
several performance and reliability enhancing changes
including new versions of Linux and MySQL.

Current customers of 8e6's Filtering and Reporting appliances
