Due to its HardwareRaid (HotSwap) with 24/7 server hard disks, redundant power supply, and the high-performance HA
mode, the appliance is 99.97% failsafe.
In combination with 2 SFP ports for LWL or bre-optic connections, VPN ASIC Crypto acceleration for a fast connection to
branch ofces and/or eld employees, and the comprehensive range of functions that gateProtect offers, the GPX 1000
achieves a level of variability and performance that can meet even the most demanding customer requirements and network
structure demands. It is also the most user-friendly model on the market thanks to its patented, process-oriented eGUI
®
technology.

eGUI

-Technology
The new eGUI
®
technology from gateProtect is remarkable for its ergonomic ap-
proach to the processing operation. The display, even of sometimes very different
applications, is always consistent and delivers the information required by the
user for the current operation only. A measure of the quality of the gateProtect
operator concept are the principles governing the design of software dialogue, as
formulated in ISO 9241, part 110.
Extended User Authentication
Most modern rewall systems support proxy-based user authentication. This
means that only those services which work with proxies such as HTTP or FTP
can be issued to specic users. The gateProtect rewall has rule-based Exten-
ded User Authentication. This allows any number of services to be assigned
individually to one user or a group of users. These services can be provided with
all the known additional options such as proxies or web lters. If a user logs
on to the rewall from a computer, all the assigned services for the computer
in question are enabled.
1. Web browser/UA Client:
logon is via an HTTPS connection.
2. Single sign-on:
Kerberos automatically passes the log-on to the domain to the rewall.
VPN Gateway (SSL with X.509 Certicates + IPSec)
gateProtect offers the most commonly used forms of current site-to-site and Road
Warrior VPN connections via IPSec and SSL. Wizards and the eGUI® technology
help with the management and set up of these connections. In addition, the re-
wall generates external conguration les when the VPN connections are created.
These les can be used for setting up single click connections and also for site-to-
site connections when importing on the rewall at a remote site.
Furthermore, gateProtect offers an IPSec and SSL site-to-site solution with X.509
certicates which can work in bridge mode as an option. For a normal bridge, two
or more network cards are linked to form a logical network. gateProtect not only
allows this for network cards but also for VPN-over-SSL connections. This makes it
possible to treat remote computers exactly as if they were in the local network.
Trafc Shaping & QoS / Up- & Download
The trafc shaping facility from gateProtect is one of the most comprehensive
implementations on the market. Maximum and minimum bandwidth can be spe-
cied for each object on the desktop. Based on this, it is possible to manipulate
the trafc for each service. Bandwidth distribution can be congured at any level
of detail. Another special feature of the gateProtect solution is the prioritisation of
data packets in the VPN tunnel with QoS. This is important for time-critical appli-
cations where a delay would not be desirable. For example, gateProtect makes it
possible to use VoIP via a VPN tunnel for interference-free telephone calls, irre-
spective of the utilisation of the tunnel for RDP or data download, for instance.
High Availability
The high availability of gateProtect rewall systems is based on an active/passive
system where a secondary rewall is installed in parallel with the primary re-
wall. The secondary rewall synchronises itself constantly with the primary rewall
using dedicated connections. It can therefore at any time take over the work of the
primary rewall, should this fail, without any manual intervention.
Furthermore, the status of the primary rewall is monitored by different systems.
If any problems are detected in the rewall, it switches itself off. The secondary
rewall enables the synchronised conguration and can continue operating in the
place of the primary rewall immediately. Downtime is minimised and problems
can be dealt with under less pressure.
HTTPS Scan
It is not possible to scan HTTPS trafc on the rewall with the products from most
other suppliers. Malware such as trojans and viruses exploit this open door to
enter an internal network unhindered.
gateProtect is one of the few manufacturers to close this door with their xUTM
appliances. gateProtect software can also scan encrypted HTTPS connections in
the data trafc for viruses and other malware.
To do this, the data ow is decrypted at the rewall, analysed and, if no viruses are
found, re-encrypted and sent on its way again.
Load Balancing
gateProtect load balancing distributes the data trafc with the Internet to different
routes. The rewall then decides which way the Internet is accessed each time a
connection is established.
As a rule, this distribution is based on protocols. gateProtect also makes it possible
to assign each individual connection to a route. This allows the utilisation of Inter-
net connections to be planned in great detail and optimised.
