Duxbury Networking is to distribute the new Matrix X-Series of core routers from its principal Enterasys Networks.
The Matrix X-Series is designed to deliver high levels of enterprise security, risk mitigation and the next-generation continuity demanded by today`s always-on networked enterprises, says Andy Robb, a technology specialist at Duxbury Networking.
"The product - among the first designed specifically for the network core - supports the performance and security demands of business-critical applications such as voice over Internet Protocol [VOIP], video to the desktop, high-performance imaging and grid computing for massive data-intensive environments," he says.
"As enterprises increasingly rely on their networks for critical communications, operations and customer-service activities, they become more vulnerable to opportunistic worms, viruses, highly distributed denial-of-service attacks, fragmented attacks and internal threats to the network and to the business itself.
"This product is designed to address these challenges and provide enterprises with a security solution capable of protecting the network from edge to core from unique, targeted attacks," he says.
"Attacks that can overwhelm the edge of a network will head for the core and cause untold damage. Therefore, the core must be an active participant in enterprise security.
"This is particularly true for companies deploying VOIP solutions, where a disruption in data traffic could also bring down the telephone system with serious consequences."
Robb says any network infrastructure must align with key business drivers including responsive customer service, critical partner communications and increased user productivity.
"The Matrix X-Series delivers the performance throughput, traffic classification and security features to meet these goals. It has been beta tested at one of the most complex computing projects at CERN in Switzerland - the world`s largest particle physics centre and the birthplace of the World Wide Web," he adds.
