There are many different types of
appliances which can be used on networks today. These appliances
are valuable tools to optimize network performance and secure
access to network devices and hosts. Many tools are combined
applications packaged together for ease of use, functionality
and monitoring.
Implementing security calls for many different network appliances,
from firewalls to intrusion detection solutions (IDS) that
reset the performance bar for enterprise-class and gigabit
security appliances. These new products, combined with new
embedded management and monitoring capabilities, provide customers
with dynamic protection of their e-business infrastructures.
The prevalence of network security threats requires vigilant
monitoring of e-business infrastructures. Such devices enable
companies to track and dynamically defend against malicious
network activity. Other security appliances provide secure
easy access via the Internet, utilising virtual private networks.
Some security appliances provide protection for a wide range
of voice-over-IP (VoIP) and multimedia standards, allowing
businesses to securely take advantage of the many benefits
that converged data, voice, and video networks deliver. By
combining VPN with the rich stateful inspection firewall services
that security appliances provide for these converged networking
standards, businesses can securely extend voice and multimedia
services to home office and remote office environments for
additional cost savings, improved productivity, and competitive
advantage.
Utilising content delivery appliances allow customers to
build virtual, distributed data centres that deliver more
efficiently mission-critical applications to all users; help
protect network availability and performance during times
of system stress or site failures-even as sites and their
content increase. The distributed-data-centre model can increase
employee productivity and improve online service quality.
Networks now support both video and voice, converting from
different protocols to IP so they can travel effortlessly
over data networks. Many different appliances are available
to support video and voice, so ensuring secure and reliable
delivery from end to end of the network regardless of whether
the traffic is video, voice or data.
