- DHCP and DNS services
- Captive portal
- VLANs, QoS and NAT policies
VPN Technology
Industry standard IPSec and certificate based OpenVPN applications allow for a flexible and robust method of connecting Road Warrior users, branch office routing and compatibility with customers, suppliers and cloud services alike.
Secure Perimeter
Industry standard applications such as Snort or Suricata provide deep packet analysis of traffic and network protocols. Â Optionally correcting traffic and actively removing threats and blocking potentially malicious visitors looking to exploit security vulnerabilities in your servers.
High Availability
Industry standard protocols provide the same capabilities of commercially available firewalls such as Checkpoint, Cisco ASA/PIX and Juniper without any licensing or additional software purchases required.
Failover services provide near instant availability between 2 or more hardware platforms for routing, dhcp, dns and security services when providing updates or handling hardware failures.
