Market Leading Price Performance With High Availability Features
SINGAPORE
- (BUSINESS WIRE) - April 22, 2002 - Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today
announced the Nokia IP710, a mid-range network security platform
for enterprises and service providers, and the newest member
of the Nokia industry leading Internet security appliance portfolio.
The Nokia
IP710 delivers high- speed small- and large-packet performance
(180 Mbps and 700 Mbps respectively) and multiple subsystem
redundancy, providing maximum network availability with market
leading capabilities at a competitive price.
The Nokia
IP710 complements the award winning IP530 and IP740 platforms
by delivering high availability features and performance in
a mid-range platform. The Nokia IP710 is NEBS III compliant,
tightly integrating Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ:CHKP)
VPN-1®(TM)/FireWall-1®, and Internet Security Systems
(ISS) (NASDAQ: ISSX) RealSecure intrusion detection monitoring
software with Nokia purpose-built hardware platform and IPSO
hardened operating system. The Nokia IP710 surpasses security
platform requirements of enterprise and service provider customers
with its hot swappable and redundant components, remote manageability,
and global policy deployment for reduced total cost of ownership.
"The
Nokia IP710 demonstrates Nokia's ability to continually raise
the price performance bar in the areas of throughput, high availability,
ease of management and global service and support, tightly integrated
with the best-of-breed security applications from Check Point
and ISS," said Dan MacDonald, Vice President, Product Management,
Nokia Internet Communications. "Enterprise and service
provider customers will be particularly pleased with the fact
that, while the Nokia IP710 is the newest member of the IP series
portfolio, it leverages the same operating system, optional
hardware components and management user interface they already
know."
Improved
scalability and performance
The
Nokia IP710 comes with the latest version of the IPSO operating
system that now includes support for virtual LAN topologies
(VLAN). For those environments that require high port density,
the Nokia IP710 matches the IP740 for port density, allowing
up to 20 10/100 Ethernet connections, and supporting GigE connectivity.
This provides customers the flexibility for supporting a multitude
of networks and is especially important in enterprise and service
provider data center environments, where security appliances
must be able to protect and extend numerous private, departmental,
divisional and public network segments.
Plug
and protect security
The
Nokia IP710 is pre-configured with best-of-breed software for
deployment in approximately 30 minutes, saving resources and
IT staff time. The Nokia IP710 is also fully supported by Nokia
Horizon Manager, the award winning secure software image management
tool, designed to dramatically reduce the time and costs associated
with deploying, upgrading, tracking and maintaining software
in networked environments. Consistent with the entire IP network
security appliance portfolio, the Nokia IP710 is backed by the
Nokia world class "First Call - Final Resolution" global
service and support.
The Nokia
IP710 supports Check Point Software Technologies and Internet
Security Systems (ISS) security software applications, and will
be available globally in June 2002.
