Enhanced Bandwidth Management

Collax announced expanded bandwidth management of the Collax Security Gateway. The UTM solution in Version 4.0.10 prioritizes and guarantees bandwidths in Virtual Private Networks; giving Voice-over-IP (VoIP), and other critical business applications such as ERP systems, priority in the VPN tunnel.

The Collax Security Gateway 4.0.10 offers all the premises to enable VoIP in company networks. The Tagged-VLAN technology (according to 802.1q) ensures that data packages are separated from voice packages thereby guaranteeing the security of internet telephony. The SIP-based Voice-Traffic is analyzed via Stateful Inspection. Combined with Traffic Shaping, these technologies ensure that the voice packages are filtered at the right part of the gateways and are offered priority in the VPN tunnel, before any other data streams. Thus a superior quality of real time voice transfer across data networks is achieved without downtime.

"VoIP makes strong demands on the IT environment, as in addition to VoIP telephone integration with the LAN, there are security and voice quality to consider," explains Boris Nalbach, Collax's CEO. "With the Collax Security Gateway, the network is in great shape for VoIP."
