Key Features and Benefits

Radware's Fireproof provides dynamic intelligent traffic management for both inbound and outbound traffic. Through advanced, user definable load balancing algorithms, client and load traffic is easily tracked ensuring the efficient use of network resources, and increasing performance through optimization of multiple concurrent firewalls. These capabilities also enable network multi-homing across multiple ISP connections.

Fireproof includes comprehensive health monitoring systems that provide full fault tolerance and ensure high availability. Full path health monitoring ensures that if resources behind a firewall are inaccessible, traffic is redirected to a healthy path.

Fireproof enables differentiated security service levels according to user, destination or application by enabling firewall grouping. Also, Fireproof is the only product to integrate bandwidth management and application security into its firewall traffic management solution. Sophisticated bandwidth management features enable service differentiation for preferred user groups or high bandwidth applications, ensuring a high quality of service. Application security features protect the firewalls themselves from hundreds of common attack signatures.

Fireproof's rich feature set, along with Radware's multi-layer switching architecture and multi-gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enable Fireproof to perform application, web and content switching. Fireproof offers seamless and non-intrusive integration into existing networks. It includes secure local and remote management options through CLI and GUI.
