H/OS Extreme
All new security gateway appliances from Halon run H/OS Extreme; a high performance, security enhanced, flexible network operating system derived from the research versions of the UNIX system developed at the University of California at Berkeley named 4.4BSD.
Key Features and advantages
- Zero Hour Spam and Virus Protection (Recurrent Pattern Detection Technology, Read more)
- Flexiable networking with VLAN, WLAN, QoS and transparent/route/NAT modes
- High availability with failover and failsafe load balancing
- Sophisticated manual/IKE/mobile IPSec and PPTP with RADIUS support
- Multilayer firewalling and TCP conn-rate and DDoS protection
- Advanced routing with OSPF & BGP
- Fully upgradable using licenses for expanding businesses
- Outstanding scripting, reporting, monitoring, scheduling, etc using the CLI, HTTP or Remote Manager administration
- Policies with packet flows, TCP rate and flags limitations, re-routing and multi-ISP paths and SYN/spoof-attack protection
- Web Access Control and Policy Authentication services
- Proactive security with normalization and TCP-proxying
H/OS Extreme's precursors has been used in servers
and large supercomputers for decades, which sets for its legendary stability. The
BSD network implementation is considered one of the most robust and compatible
IP stacks ever created, which has been enhanced to support the latest performance,
tunneling, encryption, acceleration and security extensions.
Further, H/OS incorporates numerous memory-protected, isolated processes bringing dynamic routing, advanced failsafe
TCP and ICMP-sensing proxy and redirection load balancing, authentication and filtering proxies, inline intrusion prevention,
spam and virus protection, filtering and proxying and much more to the gateway level. H/OS
is intergrated services at its best.
