Wanpipe^® eliminates the public segment in front of your firewall

When you have gone to the trouble and expense of installing a firewall between your private company network and Internet, the last thing you need is a public network segment complete with intelligent, hackable devices exposed in front of your firewall.

Routers, whether they are WAN Routers, Linux Routers or FreeBSD Routers, and DSU/CSUs are designed to be remotely managed. By their very nature they are potential security trapdoors that can be compromised. It is not unusual for these devices to be left operating with default passwords.

Wanpipe^® eliminates the public segment completely. The first process that IP traffic hits as it comes into your system is the sophisticated firewall system you have set up on your server.

When it comes to security, less is more

Wanpipe^® eliminates

• a router
• a DSU/CSU
• separate power supplies for each external box plus interconnecting cables.

This equipment is a chain of unreliability for your WAN. Failure or damage to any one of these devices, power supplies or cables will bring your vital WAN connection down.

As Wanpipe^® eliminates equipment, it eliminates their points of failure.

When it comes to reliability, less is more.
