New RouteFinder All-in-one Security Appliance and SOHO Models Now Shipping!

Dateline: Apr 26, 2006

Multi-Tech's next generation RouteFinder™ all-in-one security appliances are designed to maximize network security without compromising network performance. In addition to offering an ICSA-certified Stateful Packet Inspection firewall, optional e-mail anti-virus protection and content filtering, as well as free spam filtering, the RouteFinder security appliances now boast enhanced bandwidth management and system reliability. With the RouteFinders QoS/bandwidth allocation, system administrators can set packet filter rules to help mold traffic and set preferential treatment for certain services or host IPs. The RouteFinder appliances also feature dual WAN load balancing and interface failover, allowing for two separate ISP connections to balance traffic by distributing it over the two links. In addition, if one port were to go down, the RouteFinder appliance would automatically failover to the other connection.

Lastly, to achieve high availability, the RouteFinder security appliance now offers a clustering solution, where two RouteFinder appliances act in conjunction with each other with one appliance acting as the main system providing the services and the other acting as a standby system. If the main system were to go down, it would automatically fail-over to the standby system to provide continuous availability without an interruption of service.

The new RouteFinder models are now shipping. Put them to the test today!
