Reviewing some more networking equipment.
Both run Cisco's well reknown adaptive security appliance, The
AIP SSC-5
and the
AIP
SSM-10. These are 2 slightly differently built items, but have the same
sake. Rapidly deployable, and easily manageable they enable small businesses,
branch offices and enterprise teleworker environments to minimize operation
costs. All come with functions like firewall protection, intrusion prevention,
antivirus, worm scanning, malware protection.
The SSM-10 is
rack-mountable, while the cheaper SSC-5 is an external hardware. The SSC-5 has a
total of 1 expansion slots, and an Intel Celeron 1.60 GHz processor, 256 mega of
installed RAM, 64 MB of flash memory, the firewall's throughput is 150 Mbps,
while VPN throughput is 100 Mbps, can handle 10 IPSec VPN peers and 2 SSL VPN
peers. Confronted with the SSM-10's features, the SSC-5 seems puny. While having
the same amount of flash memory, and RAM, the SSM-10 can handle 50 IPSec VPN
peers, and 50 Web VPN peers, runs 6k concurrent sessions (32k in
virtualization).
These excellent items might non function through time,
in that case, I don't recommend buying new ones, instead send them to get
repaired, or at least buy used ones. Dominating prices lead to a certainly
under-estimated second hand market, which still has to show us it's true
potential.
Baynetwork also offer lifetime
warranty on Cisco and Juniper product they sell, as well as 90 days free
technical support, Cisco and Juniper repair and free continental US ground
shipping.
After all, if it's checked, you got to consider this is not
something you wear, and should be seen, instead, a repaired unit will function
the same way as a new one does. Save the planet!
