SMB-Gateway provides all the necessary software and tools required for an organization's server needs.  The details of the following features are described below:

• Firewall, Networking and Security
• VPN / Virtual Private Networks
• Web Proxy and Filtering
• E-mail
• Groupware
• Database and Web Server
• File and Print Services

Firewall and Intrusion Detection/Prevention

SMB-Gateway provides several levels of security.  At the network level, the firewall restricts access to your systems and provides advanced features, including DMZ, 1-to-1 NAT and Port Forwarding.  At the protocol level, the Peer-to-Peer detection system lets you manage peer-to-peer file sharing usage.  At the application level, the Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention systems provide another layer of defense against threats to your network.

Multi-WAN

With the Multi-WAN solution, you can connect two or more Internet connections to your SMB-Gateway system.  The solution not only increases your available bandwidth, but also provides automatic network failover.

Bandwidth Management

Some applications are more important than others.  The Bandwidth Manager lets you prioritize network traffic -- downloading the latest Windows updates will no longer interfere with your Voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls.

VPN - On The Road

With the PPTP VPN solution, you can use the built-in VPN client that comes with Microsoft Windows to connect remote desktops and laptops to your network.  There's no need to purchase and install expensive third party software -- the PPTP VPN solution works right out of the box.

VPN - Connecting Local Area Networks

If you need to securely connect two or more networks via the Internet, using our unique Managed/Dynamic VPN fits the bill.  The VPN solution not only makes connecting remote networks easy, but also more reliable.  This solution is based on the standard IPsec VPN protocol, so you can count on industry standard encryption and authentication technologies.

Web Access Control

The Web Proxy server reduces bandwidth usage and speeds up web browsing.  In addition, the proxy can be configured with user authentication.  With authentication enabled, you can control and monitor access to the web.

Content Filter

Whether you are concerned about students accessing pornography or employees checking their personal webmail during office hours, the Content Filter provides a flexible way to enforce web usage policies for your network.

Banner Ad and Pop-up Blocker

If you find that banner ads and pop-ups are slowing down your network, you can enable the Banner Ad and Pop-Up Blocker to speed up web page loading times.

Reliable Mail Services

SMB-Gateway has integrated the same scalable and reliable POP/IMAP and SMTP servers used by large organizations.  Thanks to the open-source revolution, it is possible for a small business to enjoy an enterprise class e-mail system.

Webmail, Outlook and More

End users can access their e-mail using any number of standard e-mail clients.  Though Microsoft Outlook is the most popular way to access mail on a SMB-Gateway server, you can also use the built-in Webmail module and other popular e-mail software packages.

Multiple Antispam Engines

Our server solution provides several different antispam techniques to maximize the spam detection effectiveness.  The antispam engines include the SpamAssassin, Dspam and Greylisting.

Affordable Antivirus Protection

Expensive antivirus solutions are a thing of the past.  The Antivirus solution not only detects viruses, but also phishing attempts.  In addition, both antispam and antivirus scanning can be configured in Mail Gateway Mode so you can protect existing mail servers (including Microsoft Exchange) on your network.

Collaboration

The suite of groupware features allows your organization to share and manage information.  With the Microsoft Outlook connector**, you can share Calendars, Contacts, Tasks Lists and Notes.  Whether you need a company calendar or a sales contact list for a few members of your staff, sharing information is simple and affordable.

Flexshare

The powerful Flexshare feature allows people in your organization to share files and helps bring out the value of of all the information in your organization.

Web Application Ready

Do you need to install a web-based application on your network?  SMB-Gateway provides the LAMP application engine with easy-to-use web-based administration tools:

• Linux
• Apache Web Server
• MySQL Database
• PHP

File and Print Services

The SMB-Gateway solution provides both an FTP and Windows/Samba file server solution.  These two file server modules coupled with Flexshare Groupware gives you a powerful tool for sharing files in your organization.

Backup, Backup, Backup

There are two kinds of people -- those who have lost important data, and those who will lose important data.  Backup is often overlooked, but it is one of the most important tasks for any organization.  The comprehensive LAN Backup and Recovery solution provides all the necessary tools to protect against disasters.
