Following extensive tests at a number of large universities, Clavister Security Gateways have been shown to be superior in their class for their ability to manage millions of simultaneous sessions. As a result, Clavister clearly surpasses comparable products from Cisco, Fortinet and Juniper.


Not only universities, but also many other large organisations are experiencing a strong increase in simultaneous active session requirements. This is due not only to the increasing overall use of the Internet, but also because security products are becoming central building blocks in networks and they therefore need to manage increasingly larger traffic volumes.

The reason for Clavister being able to reach such high performance is not just because of a fast hardware platform. Clavister takes it one step further than their competitors by having developed their own, highly compact operating system, CorePlus™, which offers significant performance advantages.

The Clavister Security Gateway is a UTM-product (Unified Threat Management), a term for solutions which integrate functions such as firewalling, VPN, intrusion protection, anti-virus, content filtering, traffic management, authorization, etc., in a common hardware platform. Clavister´s product family covers the entire range, from security for smaller local offices to powerful, clustered, multi-gigabit systems for network operators. The products require minimal maintenance; have central administration and extremely flexible setup possibilities.

"It is becoming clearer for us that network security products are taking a central role in the network. This can especially be seen in the converging operator's network, in which new multimedia services are a natural part. In these contexts, higher demands are placed on capacity, and security products cannot be allowed to be a limiting factor. We conduct daily dialogues with the leading telecom suppliers in order to guarantee that our products can manage both today's and future demands on capacity", says John Vestberg, CTO at Clavister.
