Ensuring security in heterogeneous network environments, ZENworks Network Access Control uses policies to grant or deny access to the network based on tests that determine if a device meets defined security criteria from patches to host-based firewalls. The solution performs preconnect testing for Windows and Macintosh devices.








Firewall/VPN
FireTunnel 30 combines an eight-port 10/100 switch, router, firewall and VPN. The rack-mountable 1U appliance offers support for up to 30 VPN tunnels and load balancing across two WAN connections. Quality-of-service features give priority to network packets from time-sensitive applications, such as video or VoIP , and can limit bandwidth to some users. A password-protected, Web-based management interface enables administrators to configure and manage the device. No special VPN client is necessary for Windows 2000, XP and Vista.-Black Box Network Services
Retrospective Network Analysis

Operating like a network DVR, GigaStor SAS, a retrospective network-analysis appliance, captures and stores up to 288 TB of data, and offers time-based playback and analysis to eliminate the need to recreate network problems. The serial-attached storage solution is offered in attachable 16-TB increments to monitor LAN, WAN, Ethernet, gigabit, 10 Gb, OC and Fibre Channel networks. — Network Instruments


Branch Office Security

The StoneGate FW-310 firewall/VPN appliance offers unified threat management security, including a firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention and antivirus for Web traffic, e-mail and VoIP, for remote locations. With 250 Mbps firewall throughput, 60 Mbps VPN throughput and centralized management, the FW-310 can be implemented at low — traffic sites or branch offices. With four interfaces, the solution enables small-scale network segmentation, either in internal networks or by creating a demilitarized zone for external services. — Stonesoft


Network Access Control

Ensuring security in heterogeneous network environments, ZENworks Network Access Control uses policies to grant or deny access to the network based on tests that determine if a device meets defined security criteria from patches to host-based firewalls. The solution performs preconnect testing for Windows and Macintosh devices; post — connect revalidation repeated on defined time intervals; identity — based management; and quarantine and remediation when non-compliant devices attempt to access the network.-Novell


Network Storage Server

Maxtor Central Axis Business Edition dual-drive network storage server features two 1 -TB hard drives in RAID 1 configuration. With automated backup for up to 20 networked computers, the server duplicates files across both drives with each save, preventing loss of data in the event of a hardware malfunction. The system lets users save up to 10 historical versions of information and schedule incremental backups. Compatible across Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OS X operating systems, the storage solution is user-serviceable, allowing for easy replacement of a failed drive, and features two USB ports to add an external drive or share a printer across the network.-Seagate (continued…)
