Enterprises and service providers are faced with a variety of security challenges today: threats are becoming more sophisticated, firewall security solutions are increasingly tasked with performing deep-packet inspections, changing traffic patterns demand higher appliance throughput performance, and reduced IT costs and expenses mean organizations need higher return on their network security investment.
Nokia IP690 is a security appliance designed for the demanding price performance, multi-Gigabit Ethernet throughput, and port-density requirements of medium to large enterprises and service providers. It supports multi-core technology and is purpose-built to run Check Point VPN-1, Check Point VPN-1 UTM and next generation multi-threaded enterprise security applications. Nokia IP690 is optimized to provide scalability, reliability and ease of use. In addition, the versatile design of the Nokia IP690 platform enables customers to improve performance through next generation Accelerated Data Path (ADP) cards and OS upgrades.
Scales without Forklift Upgrades
Nokia IP690 also allows for significant performance improvement through optional interface cards and software upgrades, allowing customers to deploy now and expand capacity and performance as their needs grow, without costly hardware forklift upgrades.
Port Density and Performance
Nokia IP690 is a 1RU security appliance that delivers up to 7 Gbps of firewall throughput performance and up to 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports for the Check Point VPN-1 Power and VPN-1 UTM suite of applications.
Enhanced Business Continuity, Reliability and Expandability
Nokia IP690 delivers enhanced business continuity through features such as dual, hot-swappable power supplies and optional redundant hard disk drives. For optimal reliability, Nokia IP690 offers the option of either disk- or flash-based storage configurations and includes features such as Nokia IP Clustering and virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP). Nokia IP690 also supports a variety of expansion options including support for existing interface cards, providing investment protection with legacy cards, as well as Accelerated Data Path (ADP) cards. ADP helps to accelerate firewall and VPN throughput. ADP is a technology designed to forward packets at the highest possible rate. Nokia ADP achieves this by off- loading processing from the main CPU to network processors. This level of reliability and expandability provides exceptional return on investment and lower total cost of ownership for Nokia IP690.
Nokia IPSO Advantage
Nokia IPSO™, a security-hardened operating system, natively supports key networking needs, such as dynamic and multicast routing, IPv6, VLANs and link aggregation – making integration into complex networks transparent. Nokia IPSO supports key capabilities, such as role-based administration, AAA and TACACS+ clients, and third party administrator authorization. Nokia IPSO eliminates the need for local administrator accounts that many compliance mandates require. Check Point VPN-1 is preinstalled on the appliance while native Nokia IPSO features like software acceleration, dynamic and multicast routing and high availability are included with no additional installation, licensing, or activation required.
Nokia First Call-Final Resolution Global Support
Best of all, like all Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliances, Nokia IP690 and Check Point VPN-1 are both backed by world-class Nokia First Call—Final Resolution support and service. This offers organizations a single point of technical support and assistance for both Nokia IP690 and Check Point VPN-1 applications.
