IT Secure launches Sonicwall Pro 2040 security appliance

The SonicWall Pro 2040 appliance, offering high-end security features to
mid-size businesses, was launched by IT Secure’s Security Market Access
division. Powered by SonicWALL’ SonicOS operating system and a
high-performance hardware architecture, the PRO 2040 delivers business-class
firewall throughput and VPN concentration at a very cost-effective price.

The architecture includes a powerful processor and cryptographic accelerator
that deliver 200 Mbps stateful packet inspection firewall and 50 Mbps 3DES or
AES VPN throughput. The latest encryption standard AES is supported by the 2040.
Remote installations of SonicWall 2040 can also be configured and managed
centrally by Sonicwall’s global management system.

An optional software upgrade for the SonicWall Pro 2040, SonicOS, enhanced
adds significant functionality to the product flexible fourth port. Upgrading to
SonicOS Enhanced activates a fourth user-assigned port on the SonicWALL PRO 2040
that can be configured either as an additional LAN, WAN or DMZ, or as a fardware
fail-over, offering greater network configuration flexibility.

The SonicWALL PRO 2040 ensures continuous uptime for Internet and IPSec VPN
connectivity by failing over to a second ISP link should the primary link fail.
Through ISP fail-over, the PRO 2040 delivers highly reliable network
connectivity for constant access to critical data.
