What businesses do you serve?
We are already focused narrowly on securing,
accelerating and storing data, so we do not
ignore specific industry verticals. However,
due to our backgrounds, we are versed on
compliance concerns across various industries.
Our customers include a variety of
manufacturing, healthcare, education, state and
local government, clothing and entertainment
customers, to name a few.
In terms of customer sizes, we cater to SMB to
high-end Enterprise. Our technical engineers
have a deep background in large enterprises, so
we can tackle the big problems, but we also
know that there are plenty of SMBs that need
enterprise solutions that are much easier to
manage and deploy.

How do I select a firewall?
Firewalls are sized based upon several
criteria:
- Start with the number of ports/interfaces
that you will need
- Look at your total throughput requirements,
make sure to include any additional internal
segments you might want
- Consider the total number of sessions you
might need, keep in mind that a single user can
easily generate 4-20 sessions
- Consider how many VPN tunnels you want to
support (include sites and users)
- Look at what other features you might want,
such as AV scanning, IDS capability, anti-spam
and web content filtering
- Consider if you want to cluster firewalls for
load or redundancy considerations
