| Nokia Unveils its Nokia IP560 Solution Nokia has introduces its newest network security appliance, the Nokia IP560, a 1RU appliance. It runs the Nokia IPSO operating system designed specifically for network security use, and Check Point VPN-1 Pro with SecureXL. The value of Nokia IP560 is further demonstrated when two appliances are paired in High Availability mode, with the two Nokia IP560s taking up no more rack space and delivering higher performance and Gigabit Ethernet port density for about the same cost as a single competing appliance. The Nokia IP560 is suited for medium and large businesses seeking an affordable midrange appliance that can expand as needed; for large businesses and enterprises in need of a rack-dense, high-throughput appliance for perimeter or internal network security; and for service providers looking for an affordable, rack-dense firewall appliance that delivers multi-gigabit levels of performance. The Nokia IP560 also provides businesses with a cost-effective migration path from other Nokia security appliances, including the Nokia IP380, IP530, IP710, and IP740. The Nokia IP560 is available in flash-based or hybrid configurations, allowing for the option of up to two additional hard disk drives for storage and logging. Using a four-port 1000BaseT Ethernet card, the Nokia IP560 supports 58.000 connections per second and delivers over 6 Gbps of firewall throughput and 1.9 Gbps throughput of encrypted traffic for Virtual Private Network (VPN) data. With the option of up to 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports combined with its high performance, the Nokia IP560 provides businesses with one of the most flexible, scalable and powerful appliances available in a 1RU platform. The Nokia IP560 is configured with 1GB of DDR memory, expandable to 2GB. The appliance also provides high availability clustering functionality with included support of the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and IP Clustering; as well as support for dynamic and multicast routing. Easy management is provided through Nokia Network Voyager and Cluster Voyager for local and remote administration. The Nokia IP560 is also RoHS-compliant, meeting the European Union's restrictions on hazardous substances that will go into affect in July. Along with the Nokia IP560, Nokia also announced a new expansion option for its flagship firewall/VPN appliance, the Nokia IP2250. Available now, a new 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface card increases the connectivity options for the Nokia IP2250 within the core networks of enterprise and service provider customers. The combination of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the high throughput of the Nokia IP2250, and the networking functionality found in Nokia IPSO simplifies the deployment of Check Point VPN-1 within demanding network cores. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
