Overview

Reduce costs

Reduce the cost of ownership while achieving consolidation and service levels of applications and Internet services. Utilising a virtual appliance enables you to predict costs and calculate capacity without increasing hardware costs.

Power effective

Reduce power consumption by consolidating and eliminating backup servers and non-critical application servers.

Create redundant systems

While Internet usage is increasing, and 99% uptime is generally expected, redundancy has the potential of increasing hardware cost and total cost of ownership.

Redundancy

Use a virtual appliance to create a fully redundancy environment while maintaining high level of Internet security, filtering, and backup without associated cost increases.
