There are many advantages inherent in choosing an appliance-based technology over a traditional server technology, and it may surprise you to learn how many applications are now available for appliances.

In short, Nokia appliance technologies now cover:

• Network intrusion detection (ISS Real Secure)
• Virus scanning (McAfee)
• Firewalls with high availability fail-over and load sharing (Check Point)
• Firewall and VPN Management (Nokia's Horizon product)
• Clustered VPN solutions (both Nokia and Check Point VPN-1)

Network Appliance technologies now include:

• Caches
• Filers
• Streaming Media
• Content Filtering
• SAN fabric backup and live mirror solutions

Foundry switches work synergistically with these solutions to provide; in some instances; better utilisation and higher availability.

For an illustration of such a synergy, look at our BOS Product.
