TeamF1’s
high-performance networking and security software powers the
latest versions of NETGEAR's VPN/Firewall Routers
FREMONT, Calif.— March 15, 2007 –-
NETGEAR, a global provider of technologically advanced,
branded networking products for business and home users, has
chosen TeamF1’s security software for use in the next
generation of NETGEAR’s ProSafe™ VPN Firewall Routers,
according to Mukesh Lulla, president of TeamF1, Inc. (www.TeamF1.com),
a leader in embedded networking and security software.
TeamF1 is supplying a broad set of standards-based security
features for security gateways that NETGEAR is targeting at
the small-to-medium business (SMB) market. The software,
provided in a prepackaged turnkey solution, will help ensure
that SMB customers can provide their workforces with secure
online environments, particularly when they are working away
from their local-area network (LAN).
TeamF1's
Secure Gateway Solution, a member of its
SMBware™ family
of innovative prepackaged solutions, enabled NETGEAR to
bring advanced features to market very quickly, while
meeting customers’ demand for the latest security features.
In 2006, NETGEAR successfully deployed its FVX538 and FVS338
routers containing TeamF1’s prepackaged software and will
roll out other members of the SMB family in 2007.
Security features enabled by TeamF1's software include an
advanced IPsec VPN; a stateful inspection firewall to
prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks; and an intrusion
detection system (IDS) with logging, reporting and e-mail
alerts. Also included are a comprehensive, easy-to-use
device management interface (GUI and console), quality of
service (QoS), and network traffic monitoring.
“TeamF1 not only did provide us high quality software for
our security products, they also provided us excellent
support throughout the development cycle" said Tissa
Senevirathne, NETGEAR’s Vice President of Engineering for
Business Products and Solutions. "After an extensive
evaluation, NETGEAR selected TeamF1 based on advanced
security features, quality and time-to-market advantages."
"This announcement marks a new strategic relationship
between TeamF1 and NETGEAR," said Mukesh Lulla, president,
TeamF1, Inc. "TeamF1 continues to set the standard for
advanced SMB security appliances. We are excited that our
software will be powering NETGEAR's business-class VPN
routers."
