The FVS338 is an ideal choice for growing businesses that are concerned about security breaches that can either expose sensitive information or cause network downtime. The FVS338's on-board 266MHz processor with built-in encryption acceleration provides high speed networking for up to 50 simultaneous VPN connections. Using 256-bit AES encryption for the VPN tunnels and Secure Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the FVS338 also supports IPSec, PPTP and L2TP VPN pass-through functionality for use as part of a client-based remote connection to a larger enterprise VPN and with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for secure remote management capabilities, allows for centralized management of a distributed workforce. The FVS338 is an excellent alternative to more expensive and hard-to-deploy non-routing firewall "appliances". Future enhancements include anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-spam policy enforcement options.
