FWaaS
Better security and accessibility!
A physical firewall effectively protects you from intrusion, but it also creates a new form of vulnerability. Traditional firewalls are often located at the geographical point where the office network is located. It is almost always a physical device and if it breaks or you miss maintenance, you risk unnecessary downtime.
In the industry, we call this a Single Point Of Failure (SPOF). You can avoid this by operating within our virtualization cluster. A virtualized open-source based firewall is installed on multiple servers and in multiple locations. Together, these resources, the network, and the firewall application constitute a virtualized firewall service with full redundancy.
What is FWaaS?
A virtualized firewall to replace physical firewalls.
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) is a virtualized firewall service. An Open-source based firewall software is installed on a clustered virtual machine — since it is clustered and installed on multiple servers in at least three geographically separate Data Centers, it has extremely high availability.
Together with our layer 2 service VLAN, FWaaS enables a whole new level of security, capacity, and availability. With a virtualized firewall, there is no need for time-consuming trips to a point where the physical firewall used to be. Now you can easily manage rules and policies remotely.
Basic configurations:
FWaaS-00
Recommended for the small office with users who do not need advanced services.
– 1 vCPU
– 1 GB RAM
– 5 GB HDD
FWaaS-01
Recommended for companies that place higher requirements on performance and the use of CPU intensive services, such as VPN. Also suitable for customers connecting multiple VLANs to the same firewall.
– 2 vCPUs
– 2 GB RAM
– 5 GB HDD
FWaaS-02
Recommended for larger companies that require advanced rules and performance-intensive operations. This basic configuration is also suitable for customers who connect multiple VLANs to the same firewall.
– 4 vCPUs
– 4 GB RAM
– 5 GB HDD
