Enterprise Series Forefront Appliance Platforms
The Iron Networks Enterprise Series appliance platform is designed to serve enterprise and branch-office for all types of network deployments.
Models 3500 and 5500 are the most advanced fault tolerant systems in their class. System components such as hard disk drives, power supplies, cooling fans etc are fully redundant and hot swappable to ensure the highest possible availability of all the moving parts. In case of a component failure or during routine system maintenance, there is no need to power down a system or stop services to replace a failed component.
nTMG based models are deployed as 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.
