Low Cost Dedicated Hosting Meets Security
ServerBeach, the dedicated hosting provider for SpawnPoint.com, has released a fancy little gadget called the “mGuard Smart” [PDF]. The mGuard Smart is a single server hardware firewall. ServerBeach is currently offering this product on their Category 3 and Category 5 servers, in San Antonio, TX.
The mGuard Smart draws power from the servers USB, and replaces the ethernet that plugs into your server. The ethernet from the PEER 1 powered network is then plugged into the device, allowing filtering to occur before entering the server.
The mGuard smart is currently the smallest security device on the market, offering an extremely high degree of security and performance. It can be integrated anywhere both quickly and simply without modifications to the computer system, regardless of the processor technology or operating systems used.
The mGuard Smart, although small in nature, packs some serious punch; this is a shortlist of just SOME of it’s features: VPN, Configurable Firewall, Integrated AV Supporting HTTP, FTP, SMTP and POP3.
