The device works by downloading a range of network and security services from ClearPaths own private network, which can then be used by the SMB. These include firewall, content filtering, antivirus, intrusion detection, and network management services.
ClearPath chief executive Cliff Young believes that the device opens up the SMB market to levels of network management that were previously unavailable. Today, in most SMBs, managing VPN tunnels is done manually, but now a lot of the management of the tunnel is done dynamically through ClearPaths back-end systems, says Young.
Two SNAP VPN products were launched today, the 1200 and 1400 series, which support 10 users or 10 concurrent encrypted VPN tunnels and 25 users or 30 tunnels, respectively.
Also today, Marvell launched its new Prestera 16-port and 24-port managed Gigabit Ethernet devices -- the DX160 and DX240 -- which are aimed specifically at SMBs.
Gigabit Ethernet is already well established in data centers and higher-end corporates, and, as prices fall, the technology is attracting more and more attention from SMBs.
Bob Friday, Chief AI Officer for Juniper Networks, explains how the advanced technology is transforming operations.
Contact center leaders from 8x8, Awaken Intelligence, and 360insight discuss the importance of agent experience.
AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
