 Link up subsidiaries safely: BOB and Traffic Intelligence – much more than VPN 

A branch-office-box (BOB) is the key for networking branch offices. With netfence sintegra small subsidiaries have all they need from phion in one small, convenient security gateway: VPN, high availability, traffic intelligence, WAN optimisation and bandwidth management. So the network performance is as it should be. And the best thing is: It can all be managed centrally.

With its netfence appliances phion provides branch office box (BOB) solutions which convincingly address all subsidiary network requirements. By holding back frequently accessed contents at a local level (caching), prioritising data flows (quality of service) and with lossless data compression you can optimise reaction times and reduce band width capacities. Certain services, such as DHCP, can be provided locally at the same time. The traffic intelligence technology developed by phion also ensures an automatic line switch should the system fail.

   VPNC

The following line types are supported: leased lines, xDSL, ISDN, satellite, UMTS or Multi Provider Uplinks. This ensures that your subsidiaries can access the required resources with sufficient performance levels and remain productive at all times. By integrating a complete firewall and VPN gateway (with leading encryption algorithms up to AES 256) you can also achieve an enterprise protection level with phion netfence appliance for your subsidiaries. The integration into the central management system gives your network team the complete control over the WAN from the head office and thus forms the basis for cost-efficient operations.

netfence sintegra

  • The netfence sintegra appliances are integrative security gateways offering remote sites in particular more security and a high level of accessibility for their digital communication pathways at significantly lower operating costs. This means that branches not having their own security personnel can be optimally integrated within the existing, group-wide security infrastructure.

netfence edge

  • The design of netfence edge appliances has been strongly influenced by the insight that also the smallest remote offices require fully performant protection against threats.
  • The netfence edge appliances from phion are integrative security gateways that provide small sites connected through DSL or an internet provider with optimal security and maximum availability. This combined with a significant reduction of the ownership and operating costs results in an optimal solution that precisely meets the needs of small remote offices.

Many companies are finding new opportunities in the markets of Eastern Europe. If they decide to access the Eastern European Market, they are often faced with the task of securely integrating their geographically distant remote branches into their existing network infrastructure. After all, criticall data, applications and processes are exposed to countless security risks during every day business.

 Quote

„Our experience with networking international locations means that we are very pleased about the traffic intelligence, multi-provider and multi-link functions in the netfence gateways. We achieve the highest levels of availability and service quality without having to purchase numerous service level agreements for other products."

 Success Stories

  • RHI has implemented a highly flexible communications infrastructure - which is exemplary worldwide - based on the integrated multi-provider and multi-link function in the phion solutions.

  • By implementing the phion management centre, which allowed administration to be centralised and localised at the same time, by fully utilising the capabilities of the phion VPN technology options, the manageability, connectivity and security at Julius Blum GmbH could all be increased, while simultaneously reducing resource efforts.

  • Subsequent to a company-wide transition period, all subsidiaries and warehouses at Sanochemia are now connected with the main offices via netfence gateways. The phion solutions not only ensure the gateway’s redundancy, but also that of the lines. If a connection fails then the netfence solutions automatically divert the data traffic to alternative lines.
