Allied Telesis Next-Generation Firewalls are an ideal integrated security platform for today's networks. Next-Generation Firewall and threat protection is combined with routing and switching, to provide an innovative high-performance solution.

The Allied Telesis Firewall is a next-generation, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine that provides real-time, Layer 7 classification of network traffic. Rather than being limited to filtering packets based on protocols and ports, the firewall can determine the application associated with the packet. This allows Enterprises to differentiate business-critical from non-critical applications, and enforce security and acceptable use policies in ways that make sense for the business.

Allied Telesis integrated security platforms utilize "best of breed" security providers for the ultimate in up-to-the-minute protection from all known threats. Flexible licensing options make it easy to choose the right combination of security features to best meet business needs.

IDS/IPS is an intrusion detection and prevention system that can protect networks from malicious traffic. IDS/IPS monitors inbound and outbound traffic, and identifies threats which may not be detected by the firewall alone.

IP Reputation is becoming increasingly popular as a method of improving the success of Intrusion Prevention by reducing false positives. IP Reputation provides an extra variable to the prevention decision, which allows drop rules to be actioned only if the reputation of the web site exceeds a chosen threshold.

Allied Telesis Next-Generation Firewalls run the advanced AlliedWare Plus™ fully featured Operating System. The comprehensive Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides a single-pane-of-glass interface, with the dashboard providing at-a-glance status of threat detection and protection. The GUI centralizes management of the integrated components, to control and protect online business resources and applications.

Full support for Allied Telesis Management Framework™ (AMF) allows Allied Telesis Firewalls to integrate with Allied Telesis switching products to form a network able to be managed as a single virtual device. A full suite of automated tools ensures that the firewall configuration is backed up, and able to be recovered with no user intervention, maximizing availability of online services.

High performance is guaranteed by harnessing the power of multi-core processors and application acceleration engines. This dramatically increases throughput and enables simultaneous packet inspection.

Desktop USB-Powered Media Converters

The Allied Telesis DMC Series of Gigabit mini media converters are among the smallest media converters in the market today.

Overview

At just 1.25 inches wide ? 3.6 inches deep ? 0.85 inches high, Allied Telesis DMC Series media converters can easily fit into the palm of a hand. In addition to being compact-with a small carbon footprint-the DMC Series can also be powered with the included Micro USB to USB cable, and plugged directly into a laptop or PC or may also be powered via the optional AC/DC adapter. This saves installation time and cabling as there are no further power requirements.

Fiber Connections

The Allied Telesis range of Gigabit media converters provides a complete family of conversion devices, allowing users to extend the size of UTP networks with the use of fiber cabling. Supporting SC, ST and LC fiber connectors, these converters can be used to extend networks with up to 500m of multi-mode fiber.
