Every day more and more companies connect their internal networks to the Internet for a variety of reasons—productivity, customer service, collaboration, and more. Some of the biggest issues these organizations face as they extend their networks to the Internet are security, manageability, and cost. Proxy Server's firewall, security, contents caching, and management tools help organizations address these issues effectively. In choosing the right proxy, we need to identify the three things customers demand most for their intranet/Internet:
- High Performance
- Extensible Firewall Security
- Easy Comprehensive Management
A Proxy Server acts as a gateway with firewall-class security between a Local Area Network (LAN) and the Internet. Several new features have been added to some of the newer proxy servers software to enable them to be used as a firewall.
These Features Include:
- Dynamic Packet Filtering
- Multi-layered security
- Alerting and Logging
- Shielding of Internal Network Addresses and Internet Server Applications
- Virtual Hosting (reverse proxy)
When used with Windows NTŪ Server’s Routing and Remote Access Service (RAS) the Microsoft Proxy can be used to provide cost-effective, secure Virtual Private Networks (VPN) VPNs.
Our experience has provided us with the ability to evaluate your environment and implement the appropriate proxy solution for your business.
