SG640

Integrated Firewall/VPN/IDS on a PCI Card Protects Desktops and Critical Servers

The SnapGear® model SG640 is a cost-effective firewall/VPN/IDS solution packaged on a PCI card. By offloading all firewall, VPN, and IDS processing from the host computer, the SG640 ensures high performance and throughput with the convenience of remote management and simplified installation. Unlike "co-processing" products, the SG640 is an advanced, self-contained multi-tasking stateful firewall, VPN, and IDS appliance. It includes a RISC processor and two Ethernet interfaces for host and LAN communications. The SG640 packs the power of a firewall, VPN and IDS solution while eliminating the cabling, space and power requirements of an external appliance PDAs, web and applications servers to the Internet via business- and consumer-grade broadband, dedicated circuits from T-1 to T-3 or narrow-band connections (modem/ISDN). The SnapGear SG640 provides connectivity and security features normally found only in enterprise-class solutions.
