Duxbury Networking has released the latest Netgear router, positioned as the flagship of its ProSafe firewall family.
The SRX5308 ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall is designed to function as the core of a corporate network with 100 or more users, being capable of handling 200 000 concurrent connections and providing support for up to 254 VLANs, 125 simultaneous IPSec VPN tunnels and 50 simultaneous SSL VPN tunnels.
Targeted at more demanding business networks, the SRX5308 features a hardware-accelerated data flow architecture that allows for 1Gbps of stateful firewall throughput.
Andy Robb, CTO at Duxbury Networking, describes the SRX5308 as an SNMP-manageable network solution that furnishes multidimensional security, including denial of service (DOS) protection, stateful packet inspection (SPI), URL keyword filtering, configurable hardware DMZ port, logging, reporting and real-time alerts.
“QOS, WAN traffic metering and bandwidth profiling gives the user granular bandwidth management capabilities, while VLAN support allows guest traffic to be separated from critical production servers,” he says.
Four Gigabit LAN ports allow for maximum internal data transfer speeds, while four Gigabit WAN ports provide two modes of session-based load balancing as well as failover protection to ensure maximum throughput and reliable Internet connectivity.
“As the speed of WAN connections rise, and users turn to virtualisation and cloud computing services, businesses need line-rate security devices that meet corporate governance requirements, but also fall within budgetary requirements. The SRX5308 meets these requirements,” adds Robb.
