Duxbury Networking, official distributor of ProCurve Networking by HP, has introduced the company`s new secure branch office router, the ProCurve Secure Router 7000dl and integrated mobile solution, Access Controller Module to the South African channel.
ProCurve is enhancing its portfolio of network hardware and software products by improving local LAN, WAN and wireless LAN security perimeters.
Security is a key component of the Adaptive EDGE Architecture, and ProCurve Networking is building on its strategy to provide a secure, mobile, multi-service network with the following products:
* The ProCurve Secure Router 7000dl series connects enterprise branch offices to a headquarter site at the WAN edge and provides edge-to-edge connectivity. The platform adds security to restrict unauthorised access and offers wire-speed performance with integrated convergence features.
Additionally, with the 7000dl series, SMEs can provide a secure and reliable connection to the Internet and remote virtual private network (VPN) access to their employees.
* The Access Controller Module for the ProCurve Switch 5300xl enables a wireless network edge to provide secure, mobile and appropriate access to multiple services over a single network. This removes the need to have authentication software on a user`s client, moving the functionality to the edge of the network and providing hassle-free access with a high level of security.
Comments Andy Robb, technology specialist at Duxbury Networking: "The ProCurve Secure Router 7000dl Series delivers modular, high-performance capabilities designed to adapt to the needs of an enterprise by supporting new services without incurring additional software costs.
"Indeed, unlike traditional routers, the 7000dl series is an affordable platform that grows with changing business needs."
The routers include a stateful firewall to prevent denial of service attacks, offer access control list (ACL) and virtual local area network (VLAN) support to restrict traffic flow, and include an 802.1X supplicant. To support an increasingly mobile workforce, the 7000dl series offers optional IPSec VPN termination to allow remote users to connect to their corporate office over the Internet.
For medium to large enterprise customers concerned about the added security risks of deploying a wireless LAN, the ProCurve Switch xl Access Controller Module enables secure, mobile user access to appropriate network services on any ProCurve 5300xl switch at the edge of the network where users connect. With the addition of the ProCurve Switch xl Access Controller Module, the ProCurve switch 5300xl series delivers a unique approach to integrating identity-based user access control.
