Product Update 10/07: Get the Grill!
|

.vantronix improved the look of the 2nd generation firewall
products by adding an unique front panel: the .vantronix grill.
Of course, everything remains as it is including the world-class
security, the reliable stability and the optimized functionality of
the .vantronix security appliances; it is just the grill made of stainless steel
improving the authoritative appearence of the C1, C2, or HA1
firewalls in your data center.
A new product is the .vtFW-EM2P,
the more powerful and flexible fan-less embedded firewall for your
office or co-location. Featuring a better performance, integrated hardware crypto,
and 8 Fast Ethernet ports as a perfect complement to the classic
.vtFW-EM1P ROBO firewall.

The German iX magazine from the publisher Heise reviews
the new loadbalancing functionality that comes with OpenBSD 4.1

to an exceedingly positive result.
The loadbalancer has been co-developed by .vantronix and it is
running in production in many different scenarios powered by the
.vantronix security appliances.
