Benefits and Key Features

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

With Virtual Private Network, an enterprise can establish a dedicated tunnel among branch offices and/or mobile employees. All data is encrypted and decrypted via the pre-defined dedicated tunnel. This prevents hackers from stealing private information in the public network. With this functionality, any sub-network can be grouped as though it is in the same network.

SPI Firewall

The BOSS™ network sever appliance provides a powerful firewall capable of preventing hackers from attack- ing the gateway or internal network, so many famous DoS attacks can be detected and prevented. Whenever an attack is detected, the system will alert the network manager/home user that an attack has occurred. The network administrator or home user can then inspect the log information to find the IP address that sent the packets.

Easy Installation

In order to facilitate use of the Network Server Appliance, the product comes with default settings that allow most network administrators to install it without any modifications. If the network manager needs to modify any of the settings, the Network Server Appliance provides an intuitive Web-based user interface to facilitate any changes.

High Performance

For encryption and decryption, the NSA uses a high-speed RISC processor for real-time results. The unit’s Ethernet ports support 10/100Mbps transfer rates, enablery the system to route network packets quickly.
