Product
Integrated High Availability: Ndurant uses Resilience RESlink technology to integrate systems into an iHA solution with no single point of failure. Standard HA relies on a single application layer. Ndurants iHA detects failure at all layers: administration/configuration, application, operating system, I/O drivers and hardware. No matter what fails, Ndurant with iHA automatically provides fail over for continuous security and throughput. When combined with ClusterXL, Ndurant creates the most robust, carrier-class perimeter security solution available.
Carrier Class Performance: Ndurant's Firewall throughput, growing from 2.8 Gbps to 5.3 Gbps is boosted by dual processor architecture to handle bandwidth requirements of carrier class networks. Dual processors optimise performance when running Check Point Application Intelligence deep packet inspection. For maximum scalability, Ndurant security appliances come standard with seven 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 4 Expansion slots for optional LAN interfaces. Ndurants integrate seamlessly with all network architectures.
Self-Configuring: Ndurant is designed for simplicity of installation and maintenance with typical set-up times in fifteen minutes. Once the primary module is configured, the back-up module self-configures, speeding set-up and reducing operator error. Ndurant Modules can be rapidly hot-swapped for maintenance or field upgrades, with minimal network disruption.
ROI and TCO: Resilience warrants Ndurant with the Continuous Secured Ownership (CSOSM) program, a cost-effective path to securing expanding networks as needs change and grow over time. CSO starts with the longest maintenance agreement in the industry, with parts and support guaranteed for the life of the agreement. CSO also includes Maintenance Portability with Resilience honoring the remaining terms of any vendors maintenance contract when upgrading to a Resilience product. As networks grow, customers can upgrade their Resilience products on site, with little or no network disruption using Resilience hot-swappable modular design. Finally, when moving to a new generation of Resilience products, Resilience configuration files can be automatically loaded on the new products, eliminating operator error at setup.
With elegant design, the power of carrier-class performance and scalability, Ndurant benefits combine to deliver maximum value of ownership unlike any security appliance available today.
