Contivity 5000 Secure IP Services Gateway
The Contivity 5000 Secure IP Services Gateway addresses secure connectivity for larger enterprises. It adapts to several roles in enterprise networks: dedicated VPN gateway, stateful firewall, or IP access router -- and can be upgraded from one to another via a simple license key. With support for up to 5000 tunnels and built-in hardware redundancy, the Contivity 5000 is ideal for large organizations to extend secure access to thousands of teleworkers and remote sites.
Nortel Networks announces the second phase of its Secure Routing Technology (SRT) initiative for Contivity. This includes extension of SRT to Voice over IP (VoIP), wireless LAN, and wire-based LAN applications. Contivity and SRT can be used to establish encrypted IP VPN paths (or tunnels) for these applications to securely transmit data across both the Internet, as well as LAN environments. Extension of SRT to Voice over IP, wireless LAN and Secure LAN applications adds a security component otherwise missing from these solutions.
Nortel Networks is also announcing availability of software by which Contivity can be deployed as a "secure IP router" in addition to that of a high-performance VPN gateway. Other key features in this software release include frame relay support, which helps Contivity address a much wider range of enterprise WAN environments, as well as a Quick Start utility to facilitate ease of deploying Contivity in remote sites.
SRT is a major component of Nortel Networks Unified Security Architecture and represents a powerful solution for scaling secure IP services within enterprise networks.
