A network security solution provider in China's eastern economic hub is using multiple Advantech Security Gateway appliances to meet its business and technical needs. Offering a range of security software solutions that include firewall, VPN, IDS and 'total security solution' systems that include combined turnkey hardware/software solutions, the company has emerged as a leader in the enormous mainland Chinese network security and Internet application market.
Originally only a software solution provider, this company has expanded its business and revenues by also providing accompanying hardware platforms that run its security software applications. When it was only a software provider, it found applying its Linux-based software applications to customers' various hardware platforms very troublesome because almost every customer had a different hardware configuration (platform). Its customers 'mixed' hardware platforms always increased application set-up time as well as increased service time and number of calls needed for each customer account.
Application
This customer knew they could provide their customers with a better hardware platform to run their software applications and also better protect software/application intellectual property rights, while simultaneously creating a new revenue source, improve customer service and satisfaction, and realise gains made by reduced maintenance and service calls. However, they also realised they had limited system hardware experience involving integrating a SBC, chassis, cabling, heat dissipation and other mission-critical application concerns. That is when they turned to Advantech.
System integration
They first used the 3 LAN SG-3103 1U Enterprise Security Gateway for firewall (DMZ, LAN, WAN) applications and the 2 LAN SG-3102 for IDS applications. The SG Series gave them a rock solid CPU hardware platform that performed flawlessly with their software applications. Customers immediately responded by choosing the 'total' hardware/software security solutions. They soon realised reduced service loads, increased revenues, reduced set-up/installation times, and gained more control over the distribution and use of their software.
This customer is now also considering Advantech's newest security gateway appliance, the 1U SG-4204 with 4 LAN and PCI slot, as a dedicated hardware digital encryption card for VPN applications.
