Alteon Switched Firewall
The Alteon Switched Firewall System protects high-traffic IT data centers, service provider networks, and hosting infrastructures using unique accelerator technology and Check Point FW-1 NG software, in a compact rack-mount package. Seven plug-and-play models are available, from three standalone firewalls that can each be deployed as a pay-as-you-grow "starter kit" for small- to medium-sized enterprises, to high-end models with multi-gigabit throughput designed to accelerate up to 90 percent of all traffic.
The Nortel Switched Firewall 5100 series is ideal for standalone deployments at small or medium sized sites, and provides a platform that is network-based, highly reliable, and able to grow to support increased demand and new services.
The Nortel Switched Firewall 6000 series is a system that performs accelerated deep-packet inspection -- resulting in up to 90% of all packets being safely forwarded with inspection by the switched accelerator rather than the core firewall logic. This kind of performance is critical in any web-services deployment that will undergo periods of heavy demand.
ASF 5100 Key Features
- Models available to deliver up to 4.2 Gbps throughput and up to 500,000 simultaneous accelerated sessions, 1 million total, using Check Point Firewall-1 Next Generation software, the de facto industry standard
- Distributes policy-checking and NAT processing to accelerate up to 90 percent of traffic to wire speed (except value-priced ASF 5100 series)
- Supports automatic, 'active-active' fail-over to backup firewall devices to deliver high availability ('active-standby' for non-accelerated ASF 5100 series)
- Provides 'plug-and-play' provisioning, whereby add-on Switched Firewall Directors are auto-detected when powered up and automatically configured for license, IP address and security policies
- Expands easily from one to six Switched Firewall Directors per Switched Firewall cluster-occupying a small footprint of only three rack units for the base Alteon Switched Firewall (only 1U for stand-alone ASF 5100 series)
ASF 6000 Series Key Features
- Intelligent security with high performance -
- Throughput of 7 Gbps
- Session connections per second of 20,000 to 100,000
- Concurrent sessions of 1,000,000
- Plug-and-play deployment and expansion with a single-system-image that is easy to manage and maintain.
- Multi-layer packet inspection for extra protection from advanced hackers and attackers.
- Switch-based acceleration that off-loads CPU processing and minimizes impact on next-generation multimedia, SIP, and VoIP services.
- Device load-balancing for advanced support of IDS security devices such as Nortel Threat Protection System.
- Active-active configurations for high availability environments where 99.999% application and service availability is a must.
