Abstract

14 South Networks commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its Security Appliance Card™ and determine that the device can operate within a host server without any undue impact on the host performance or resident applications. For this test, the Security Appliance Card was running Check Point Software’s VPN-1/FireWall-1 Next Generation with Application Intelligence security software.

Testing illustrated that 14 South’s SAC, while physically resident in the test server, functions independently from that server. Similarly, tests showed that the presence of the SAC had “zero impact” on the operation and performance of the test server.

Tests also identified the Gigabit Ethernet Firewall and Fast Ethernet VPN performance of the SAC when tested at various frame sizes.
