Arxceo Launches Version 3.0 of Ally Family of Security Appliances
First Significant Product Enhancements Deliver New Features and Benefits to Better Protect Networks, Wireless Access Points and Remote Offices
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 3, 2006 — Arxceo Corporation, a provider of anti-reconnaissance and anomaly-based, attack-prevention technology, today announced the first significant product enhancements to its Ally family of security appliances designed to secure networks from information gathering, vulnerability exploitation, zero-day worm attacks and other malicious network traffic. Version 3.0 of the Ally ip100 and Ally IP1000 delivers greater ease-of-use, increased reporting capabilities, improved firmware upgrade processes and better granularity for blacklist management.
“The new version of our Ally products reflect our customers’ need to protect their networks and access points with security appliances that deliver optimal performance and ease-of-use,” said Don Davidson, CEO, Arxceo. “We are also pleased to announce that we are now offering the Ally IP1000 at a reduced price of $6,495.00. This price reduction is a direct result of the cost savings we have realized on this hardware platform. We believe that by passing along this cost savings, we will also encourage SMBs that can benefit from increased throughput to adopt this product.”
Arxceo has added unique improvements to each Ally product, which were both introduced in 2005. Due to customer demand for protecting laptop connections in the field, the Ally ip100 can now be powered from the USB port of a PC or laptop. Every Ally ip100 sold will have a USB power capability. The Ally ip100 is designed to protect SMB networks, as well as an Enterprise’s wireless access points and branch or remote offices. The Ally IP1000, a 1Gb, in-line, high-availability security appliance designed to protect larger networks, will now offer improved security for out-of-band remote management for customers who want full management access rather than layered access.
Other significant features and benefits added to both the Ally ip100 and Ally IP1000 include:
• Double the granularity of attack detection reporting to allow customers to see more precisely and analyze what events are occurring. Customers can now leverage more than 100 events to manage suspicious and unwanted behavior affecting their network.
• Improved GUI interface for more immediate access to real-time data.
• Introduction of 4 blacklists for different types of offenses that can be set with varying parameters for each list.
• Simplified firmware upgrade process allowing for easier remote upgrades.
Availability
Version 3.0 of the Ally ip100 ($895.00) and Ally IP1000 ($6495.00 reduced from $7995.00) will be available in May, 2006. For more information or to purchase these products, please contact Arxceo at 1-866-427-9236 x107 or visit our website at www.arxceo.com.
