Clavister Introduces New Next-generation Firewalls for Small Offices
December 2013 by Marc Jacob
Clavister has introduced the Clavister E5, an entry-level next-generation firewall (NGFW) in a desktop-sized package. The solution delivers enterprise-grade security for small or branch offices starting from just 340 euros.
The Clavister E5 is available in two versions; the entry-level E5 and the more powerful E5 Pro, giving up to 250Mbps firewall throughput and 100Mbps IPSec VPN throughput. Both models include full NGFW features such as application control, user identity awareness, IPSec and SSL VPN, and content security services including IPS, IDS, web content filtering and anti-virus.
Clavister’s True Application Control service enables in-depth analysis and management of application content, helping to identify Skype IDs, SQL queries, Facebook chat text, VoIP call information and more. Together with user identity awareness, this gives powerful, granular visibility and control over users’ access to applications across networks, enabling business-critical application usage to be prioritised and increasing overall business productivity.
The E5 products are managed using Clavister InControl, a comprehensive centralised management console that helps administrators perform their daily tasks faster, easier and in a more streamlined way. Its task-driven workflow management and automation guides administrators through complex and repetitive processes, and supports distributed management of security devices and policies.
The Clavister E5 is available from Clavister’s certified partners, priced at 340 euros. The Clavister E5 Pro is priced at 510 euros.
Earlier in 2013, global industry analyst Frost & Sullivan gave Clavister its ‘Product Quality Leadership Award’ for the performance, design and simplicity of its NGFW solutions.
