The Iron Networks Business Series appliance platform is designed to serve SMB and small enterprise and branch-office deployments. Model 1500 and 2500 are the "most affordable" platform on the market; they offer better performance and cost saving against "general purpose" servers with standard operating systems.
nTMG based models are deployed as a standalone units., Both nTMGE (enterprise datacenter or branch office editions) and nUAG can be deployed in high-availability (HA) and network load balancing (NLB) configurations.
