RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - March 16, 2009) - AlgoSec, the leading provider of Firewall
Operations and Security Risk Management solutions, today unveiled the
AlgoSec Appliance 1000 Series creating an on-site hardware appliance for
hosting the AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer and AlgoSec FireFlow products.
The introduction of the appliance provides AlgoSec with yet another
form-factor for delivering its best in class firewall operations and
security risk management solutions to business customers worldwide.
Currently, AlgoSec customers and partners are provisioning AlgoSec
solutions as traditional software, via the SaaS model and in virtualized
environments.
While traditional software has been widely adopted and SaaS and
virtualization models have generated a great deal of attention during the
last 12-24 months, the appliance form factor remains an essential
provisioning model. For a large number of organizations, solution
deployment via hardware is often the most convenient due to various factors
such as network architecture, personnel and resource requirements, internal
purchasing procedures and protocols.
The AlgoSec Appliance 1000 Series is ideal for those organizations that
find it more efficient to provision hardware solutions through one
department as opposed to other AlgoSec customer networks architected for
the coordinated interdepartmental efforts that may be needed for SaaS,
software or virtualized solution deployments. In addition, the new AlgoSec
appliance streamlines operations by automating a number of security
processes for customers utilizing their own servers.
"AlgoSec understands that every enterprise network is different; each with
its own unique needs and requirements," said Dr. Avishai Wool, CTO and
co-founder of AlgoSec. "By architecting our solutions so that they can be
provisioned in multiple form factors, we empower businesses by providing
firewall and security risk management solutions that are tailor-made for
their individual network environments. After all, if you're going to
provide something that everyone needs, then why not give them the option to
decide how they want it?"
"As an AlgoSec channel partner, we have seen firsthand the advantages that
flexible solution delivery creates," said Steve Reibstein, East Coast
Director of Sales at the Connecticut-headquartered Pinnacle Group. "The
presence of a security technology like AlgoSec in our portfolio is like
having four products in one, but without the inconvenience of working with
multiple vendors and training on multiple solutions."
The AlgoSec Appliance 1000 Series provides benefits that include:
-- Perfectly matched platform for AlgoSec's best-of-breed AlgoSec
Firewall Analyzer and AlgoSec FireFlow
-- Hardware platform simplifies installation and usage with a low Total
Cost of Ownership
-- Hardened and optimized operating system
-- Redundant components ensuring maximum uptime
-- On-demand addition of new capabilities to protect initial investment
The AlgoSec Appliance 1000 series is available today in two models: the
1020 for networks employing up to 150 firewalls, and the 1080 which
provides complete redundancy and failover for large enterprise security
environments of up to 1000 different firewalls. Pricing starts at $4900.00.
