Burlington, MA – February 5, 2008 - Astaro Corporation (www.astaro.com), a leader in delivering unified threat management (UTM) security appliances, announced that it was chosen one of “10 Companies to Watch in 2008” by CMP Channel's ChannelWeb.com, a popular destination for technology vendors and marketers looking to reach the $373 billion technology reseller channel.

Astaro was singled out because its UTM solution runs on a Linux foundation which, according to ChannelWeb.com, allows its solution provider partners to realize margins as high as 30%. The article forecasts that Astaro will “push the margin and technology envelope in 2008.” It also made special note of Astaro’s software allowing iPhone users to tap into the Astaro Security Gateway VPN, and that the company offers a downloadable free home user license.
