NetPilot Vanguard - Overview

UTM Security Appliance for up to 100 users

Secure Internet and VPN connectivity for medium sized organisations or larger branch offices needing high-speed connectivity with the very best Premium UTM security.

The latest generation NetPilot Vanguard integrates key hardware and software networking elements, together with an unparalleled array of Unified Threat Management (UTM) options, into a single secure internet appliance. Running the very latest V6 software NetPilot Vanguard offers more advanced features and the ability to run SSL VPNs.

	Priced from £1195, the high performance NetPilot Vanguard comes with all the VPN and security options to get businesses securely communicating across the internet. Vanguard models have been designed to offer total connectivity flexibility, with multiple Ethernet interfaces for tasks such as DMZ or segregated user LANs. They are available in both desktop and rackmount form factors.

Four Vanguard models are available, two desktop models and two in rackmount format. 'Base' models come equipped with firewall and standard VPN software functionality. As the name suggests - 'UTM' models - are shipped with UTM security. Both model types may be optionally upgraded at time of purchase, or at a later date, with the very latest SSL VPN Plus features.

A 12 month subscription to the latest Premium UTM pack is bundled in with UTM models, offering the complete range of Unified Threat Management services. UTM Premium includes anti-virus for email and browsing powered by Sophos, anti-spam, email policy controls, advanced firewall, IDS/IPS, anti-spyware, software upgrade service and URL content filtering.

All new NetPilot models feature Solid State Storage (SSD). This technology is set to replace the traditional hard disk (HDD) and provides significant benefits over HDD. NetPilot is the first UTM appliance to incorporate SSD technology. SSDs are approximately ten times more reliable than hard disks and consume considerably less power. At the same time SSDs read and write data at 2 or 3 times the speed of hard disks. This means that the new NetPilots use less power and have much better performance than older models.

All new generation NetPilot hardware is supplied with a free one year advance replacement service & one year software and firmware update subscription. All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT. E&OE
