/PRNewswire/ --

With the all new Halon Security Router, Halon Security takes the case of

clustering and high availability to a new level of simplicity. It's what plug-and-

play was supposed to be.

As soon as any corporation has grown to the point of needing a high availability

firewall solution, things usually become very complicated. Building a cluster

solution with efficient and precise configuration sharing can be a nightmare for

even the most seasoned IT professional. With the Halon Security Router series,

this just became a whole lot easier.

We wanted the clustering and high availability functionality in the Halon Security

Router series to be as easy as possible for our customers. This is a world first for

firewalls, and quite simply - this is the way plug-and-play was supposed to be, says

Peter Falck, President of Halon Security.

The setup of a brand new firewall cluster with two or more Halon SR units

simply requires the IT staff to connect the two or more units together with a

cable. That's it. The rest of the configuration distribution to all cluster nodes and

high availability setup is totally automated and done on the fly. It's actually that

easy.

The new plug-and-play clustering setup works between all Halon SR units regardless

of which platform they run on. You can, for example, build a cluster with one node

running as a virtualized machine in VMware™ vSphere, and the other node is a

hardware based firewall . The only requirement is that the license levels on all nodes in

the cluster are at the same level, says Peter Falck, President of Halon Security.

The Halon Security Router family consists of three different models that all

share the same code base upon which the Security Router operating system

runs:

- The appliance based version called Hardware Security Router (HSR) where all

models offer true gigabit speed on all ports.

- The virtualized solution that runs on virtualization platforms such as VMware™

vSphere.

- The stand-alone distribution of SR that installs on almost any standards based

x86-based server from manufacturers such as Dell or HP.

All three platforms offer the same operating system, administration interface

and functionality and also give corporations a unique opportunity to pick and

choose exactly the right solution for their existing environment.
