NetScreen Technologies (Nasdaq:
NSCN) is a leading maker of
purpose-built, integrated security
solutions that offer the scalability,
flexibility and resiliency required
by enterprises and service providers.
NetScreen's products integrate
key security features, such
as firewall, VPN and denial
of service attack protection,
in a line of easy to manage,
ASIC-based systems and appliances.
Recently, NetScreen is ranked
by IDC as "No. 1 In High-End
Firewall/VPN Appliance Market
With 57 Percent Worldwide Market
Share" and by Gartner Dataquest
as " largest market share
gain of any firewall security
vendor from 2000 to 2001, with
more than 65% to its market
share over the one-year period"
NetScreen's
Solution
NetScreen's solutions provide
several unique benefits vs.
competing security products:
Purpose-built:
NetScreen's products are designed
and built for the express purpose
of security. They use a custom-developed,
real-time operating system and
ASICs to ensure the highest
levels of security, without
compromising performance. Legacy
software-based systems must
be integrated with hardware
platforms, creating additional
deployment and management burdens.
Further, these legacy systems
create performance choke points
in the network, as they cannot
scale to the levels of performance
that NetScreen has achieved.
Advanced
Security: NetScreen
integrates key security features,
such as VPN, firewall, denial-of-service
protection, network address
translation, authentication
and traffic management. NetScreen
also has implemented those features
in new ways to help protect
against the new threats noted
above and to handle new application
requirements. This provides
a level of flexibility unseen
in competitive products.
Product
breadth: NetScreen's
product line is optimized to
meet a variety of performance
and application requirements,
from the complex and high-performance
core network environments of
enterprises and carriers, to
branch and remote offices, to
telecommuters and mobile workers.
Such solutions can be deployed
by the enterprise itself or
leverage the capabilities of
carriers that can provide these
capabilities as part of a managed
service.
Performance:
NetScreen continues to drive
innovation in security performance.
The NetScreen-5000 Series provides
up to 12 Gig firewall and 6
Gig VPN. This offers enterprises
sufficient bandwidth to deploy
departmental/internal security
at the core of the enterprise
infrastructure, rather than
having to deploy various individual
devices within each department
or close to specific applications
(such as termination of a wireless
LAN).
Superior
economics: Purpose-built
solutions combined with innovative,
centrally controlled management
add up to significant overall
cost savings. NetScreen's price-performance
ratio is unmatched in the industry.
