Create an instant and secure office network with
SnapGear
SnapGear is a complete office network-in-a-box Internet security
appliance for small businesses, with wide area networking tools normally only
available in enterprise-class devices. Not just a single-purpose security
appliance that adds one more additional device to your network, SnapGear is the
only networking device needed for office PCs to be networked with one another,
connect securely to the Internet, connect to the corporate WAN, and service all
remote access VPN needs. SnapGear handles it all for you easily and at low cost
by converging all networking, firewall, intrusion prevention security, and
remote access requirements into one high-speed, highly reliable, small
form-factor appliance. It's a snap to set up a secure business office-just pick
the SnapGear model that fits your requirements and power it on.
It's a snap to set up your small business office with:
- A local network of PCs (wired or wireless including DHCP and all LAN routing
functions)
- Internet connection
- Seamless LAN to WAN connectivity
- A complete perimeter security solution (firewall, VPN, intrusion
detection/prevention, anti-virus)
- Secure remote VPN access for your mobile staff
Just pick the
SnapGear model that fits your business requirements and power it on. No
additional routers, switches, DHCP servers, wireless devices, or failover
devices are needed. That's why we call our SnapGear products the complete office
network-in-a-box Internet security appliance.
SnapGear Family benefits, features, and
advantages
Enterprise-class networking technology in small business
platforms
SnapGear's configurable firmware is based on embedded Linux and
provides a virtually unlimited range of precise tuning options for such elements
as QoS (Quality of Service), VPN tunnel topology, routing, and fine-grained
firewall rule sets.
Fully supports both business and consumer-grade broadband, ADSL, dedicated
circuits from T-1 on up, narrow-band modems, and wireless. Advanced networking
features include support of port & tag based VLAN, OSPF, BGP, RIP, RIPv2,
RAS, RADIUS, TACACS+, MS-CHAP V2, and more. Web and DNS caching is also
available.
Failover and load balancing
To assure uninterrupted connectivity,
all SnapGear family products are equipped with a serial port. If the broadband
Internet connection is lost, SnapGear products can automatically create a new
narrowband connection using an external ISDN or analog modem. The SG560, SG565,
SG580, and SG710/710+ appliances support multiple broadband ports to ensure
uninterrupted WAN access and maximum bandwidth utilization.
Fully featured and powerful stateful inspection firewall
technology
With ICSA-Certified dynamic firewall technology underpinning
all SnapGear models, SnapGear customers are assured of the highest levels of
stateful firewall protection. The entire SnapGear line is highly resistant to
denial-of-service attacks and intrusion attempts, while actively repelling port
scans and other common probes.
Virtual private network (VPN)
Whether connecting site-to-site or
with mobile users, SnapGear supports all of the most popular types of VPN
technology including PPTP, L2TP, GRE, and IPSec. Even the smallest SnapGear
security appliances include a robust IPsec VPN solution for securely
inter-connecting multiple offices across the public Internet without investing
in a dedicated wide area network. The SnapGear VPN supports 3DES, AES, and other
popular commercial encryption algorithms.
Intrusion detection and threat mitigation
All SnapGear security
appliances include technology to disrupt conventional scanning and network layer
denial of service attacks. The SnapGear SG565, SG580 and SG710/710+ include
embedded anti-virus gateway services for SMTP, HTTP, POP3, and FTP. The SnapGear
SG565, SG580, SG635, and SG710/710+ models also include an active IDS (Intrusion
Detection System) powered by SnortT to proactively monitor network events and
alert network personnel when there is suspicious activity. The IDS assists with
intrusion mitigation by scanning traffic for known viruses and by profiling
traffic bi-directionally to help identify compromised systems.
Employee outbound access URL content filtering
Control and report
on how your employees use their Web access. SnapGear appliances include the
option for you to subscribe to our leading Webwasher® URL filtering solution (1, 2, or 3-year
subscriptions available).
Appliance management (one-to-one and one-to-many)
All SnapGear
appliances are easy to securely manage via any Web browser (Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator and others), and also provide an extensive feature-rich
command line interface (SSH security on all models apart from SG300). Optional
enterprise-class central management and reporting is available by deploying
Global Command Center software on a platform of your choosing. Global Command
Center software allows network administrators to manage hundreds of
SnapGear appliances easily including the management of upgrades, policy changes,
and other configuration tasks with the click of a mouse.
Benefits and features by SnapGear model
SG300- The SnapGear SG300 is a compact,
feature-rich network security appliance that is perfect for securing small
networks and remote workers. The onboard 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch enables a
small business to implement a LAN quickly and easily, and the WAN Ethernet and
serial ports connect the network to the Internet via broadband (ADSL, cable,
SHDSL, etc.) or narrow-band (modem or ISDN) connections. If the broadband
connection is lost, the SG300 can fail over in seconds to the narrowband
connection, ensuring maximum uptime.
SG560 - For larger offices or where higher
performance is needed, the SnapGear SG560 includes all the features of the SG300
and also has a robust metal case, hardware encryption acceleration for better
VPN performance, and port-based VLAN capability offering up to five separate
security zones.
SG565 - With the adoption of wireless LANs
(WLANs), people in distributed departments within medium to large organizations
benefit from the ability to access information when away from a desk. The
SnapGear SG565 extends the capabilities of the SG560 to include 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN support and two USB host ports, allowing the direct connection of
local storage devices and printers. The SG565 also offers gateway anti-virus,
IDS/IPS, and Web caching. Combining VPN technology with Wireless LAN is a
natural match, guaranteeing privacy of your precious data.
SG580 - The SnapGear SG580 consolidates
firewall, intrusion prevention, secure VPN access, gateway anti-virus, and Web
filtering. Its networking capabilities enable small offices and branch offices
of large enterprises to safely and easily connect their network of PCs, PDAs,
Web and applications servers to the Internet via broadband-dedicated circuits
from T-1 to T-3 and xDSL, or narrowband connections (modem/ISDN). Includes
multiple enterprise-level connectivity and security features, including up to
five separate security zones, link failover and Internet session load-balancing,
and built-in Web proxy cache.
SG635 - The SnapGear SG635 is a
cost-effective firewall/ VPN/IDS/IPS solution packaged on a PCI card for
desktops and critical servers. By offloading all firewall, VPN, and IDS/IPS
processing from the host computer, the SG635 ensures high performance and
throughput with the convenience of remote management and simplified
installation. Unlike "coprocessing" products, the SG635 is an advanced,
self-contained multi-tasking stateful firewall, VPN, and IDS/IPS appliance. It
includes a RISC processor, encryption accelerator for IPSec VPN traffic and two
Ethernet interfaces for host and LAN communications (only one external). The
SnapGear SG635 packs the power of a firewall, VPN, and IDS/IPS solution while
eliminating the cabling, space and power requirements of an external appliance.
SG710/710+ - The SG710 is the flagship of the
SnapGear Family of firewall/VPN appliances. With multi-megabit throughput, two
fast Ethernet ports, and two 4-port VLAN switches as standard, and the option
for two additional gigabit ports, the ICSA-certified SG710 is an excellent
solution for branch offices of larger organizations, as well as central offices
of small to mid-sized enterprises (SME). The SG710 provides central site VPN,
firewall, and session load balancing capabilities with the capacity to securely
connect hundreds of mobile and remote employees. With its rich feature set and
rack-optimized form factor, the SG710 is a compelling enterprise-class firewall
solution at a mid-market price.
