Encryption cards speed secure network throughput
Internal gigabit secure bypass network interface cards improve networking appliance performance by independently executing encryption tasks.
Each segment, copper, single-mode fibre and multimode fibre, offers full bypass functionality, without interrupting the communication session.
This includes rerouting the networking traffic automatically on the need to take an in-line network appliance off the network for maintenance, or perform failover in case of malfunction due to software crash or power failure.
The unique design and its telco grade quality, carrier class elevate the network reliability to the next level and enable avoiding interruption in internet communications session.

"Following the recent introduction of our first intelligent external network bypass, Niagara 2297, Interface Masters is committed to continuously develop high performance and innovative failover devices to answer the market needs", says Ben Askarinam, Senior VP at Interface Masters Technologies.
"We are pleased to introduce the advanced Niagara 2298, powerful modular intelligent network bypass product, which enables graceful failover of inline networking appliances".
"This modular bypass features extreme flexibility and supports a mix of interfaces including copper to fibre conversion, which provides significant savings to the customers whenever fibre support is required".
The Niagara 2298 modular intelligent network bypass guarantees uninterrupted network on each of its four segments, in spite of power failures or system crash.
This solution increases dramatically the internet service reliability and reduces the network down time.
The Niagara 2298 system is currently being evaluated by customers such as telcos and by major security inline networking appliances OEM vendors.
The network bypass system offers IT managers and service providers the ability to proactively disconnect networking appliances and put them offline.
This function is needed in order to update the hardware/ firmware or upload new rules and signatures, for example intrusion detection and prevention, unified threat management, WAN acceleration, firewall, e-mail server, load balancer and VPN gateway.
The Niagara 2298 system is available now and is targeted at Internet service providers (ISP), telcos and OEMs at the critical IT sector requiring security, UTM market, storage area networks (SAN), intrusion detection and prevention and WAN acceleration.
