US-based Intoto, a company that provides embedded security
software solutions for gateway devices, has developed a state-of-the-art
inspection firewall solution (npFirewall) for the Intel IXP1200
network processor. The solution addresses the OEM needs for
building high performance secured gateway applications, including
broadband access platforms, QoS, firewalls and intrusion detection,
virtual private networks, load balancing equipment and multi-service
switches. According to S N Murthy, president and COO of Intoto
Software, which is a subsidiary of Intoto Inc, the company’s
implementation of a full-featured Netware Address Transmission
(NAT) and Firewall solution in microcode can deliver scalable
performance on communications equipment based on the Intel
IXP1200, IXP2400 and IXP425 network processors. Its microcode
helps equipment makers to quickly integrate security features
into their products, accelerating the time market.
Intoto’s iGateway npFire-wall solution for the Intel
IXP1200 network processor offers full-fledged inspection firewall
software which is based on Intoto’s ICSA certified iGateway
firewall. The architecture supports the use of multiple data
processing engines on Intel network processors, enabling the
OEMs to build scalable high performance firewall equipment.
The npFirewall has the capacity to create multiple virtual
I firewall using subscriber specific policies.
