Corporate Firewall

The SmoothWall Corporate Firewall is an Internet gateway firewall targeted at small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The product replaces the vendor's Corporate Server 3 and is for companies with up to 250 users.

Corporate Firewall is the next evolution of SmoothWall's original Corporate Server product. Much of the underlying program code has been rewritten, with key developments including:

- Deep packet inspection: Blocking of port agile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic

- Operation: Additional reports, new monitoring facilities

- User need configuration: Configure what alert, report and status information to be displayed on the firewall home page

- IDS: Improved Intrusion Detection System

- Hardware support: Support for the latest hardware including a range of SATA disk controllers

The modular design of Corporate Firewall allows the security system to grow with business needs, providing the ability to retrospectively add facilities like Secure Remote Access for field staff, VPN connectivity to branch offices, Web Content Filtering and Bandwidth Management.

Corporate Firewall is priced at £180. Visit the SmoothWall Web site for further information.
