NETWORK BOX UNVEILS S-SERIES FAMILY OF UTM DEVICES FOR SOHO MARKET

HOUSTON, Feb. 16, 2010 – Network Box USA, Inc. (www.networkboxusa.com), the American arm of managed security company Network Box Corp., has unveiled its new S-Series family of unified threat management (UTM) appliances. The three new models are targeted to small offices, branch offices and home offices.

The Network Box S-Series UTMs (Models S-25, S-35 and S-85) feature Gigabit Ethernet ports and exceptionally fast Intel processors. The units have no moving parts; the usual CPU/motherboard layout is inverted, turning the top of the case into a heat sink so that no fan is required, even when operating at full processor speed.

Models S-25 and S-35 (replacing the S-50) are designed for small offices and branch offices requiring virtual private network, firewall and intrusion prevention functionality. They have a gigabyte of random access memory (RAM) and come with Network Box firmware on a 2-gigabyte compact flash. The S-25 model is diskless, engineered for use with a centralized logging server, while the S-35 model yields an additional 32 gigabytes of solid state drive (SSD) storage for logs and database. The firewall-plus service package Network Box USA offers provides a low-cost solution for connecting remote offices back to a central location.

The S-85 boasts three times the network throughput and double the memory of the S-80 model it replaces. The new model features 2 gigabytes of RAM and can be used with full UTM+ services for up to 10 users. The device also comes with Network Box firmware on a 2-gigabyte industrial-grade compact flash and 32 gigabytes of SSD storage. Designed for small offices, branch offices and homes requiring full Network Box UTM+, content filtering or anti-virus services, the S-85 offers an affordable solution for deploying effective managed Internet threat protection, including all advanced Network Box services and options.

All three S-Series models include five Ethernet ports – four 10/100/1000baseTX and one 10/100baseTX. Full support is provided for Network Box advanced services – such as load balancing, quality of service, and advanced policy based routing – and the units are fully managed and monitored from the Network Box Global Management System.
