Nokia Boosts Performance of New and Installed Nokia IP Network Security Platforms

Nokia has released the newest version of its Nokia IPSO operating system, delivering significant performance improvements across Nokias entire IP security platform portfolio. Nokia IPSO 3.8, an appliance-optimized, security-hardened, clusterable Operating System (OS), will increase firewall and Virtual Private Network (VPN) performance on all new and existing Nokia IP security platforms, providing a complementary, easily downloadable boost to Nokias entire installed base. Nokia IPSO 3.8 provides a two to six-fold increase in firewall Connections Per Second (CPS) performance, in addition to enabling up to three times improved VPN performance, based on the specific hardware platform and processors in those platforms. This performance enhancement results in cost and time savings, as well as extends the life of customer investments. Hard disk mirroring, redundant and hot swap components for select Nokia IP platforms ensure additional reliability. Nokia IPSO 3.8 is built with security hardening, advanced routing, high availability (HA) and core clustering capabilities. Leveraging Check Point Software Technology SecureXL 2.1 API, Nokia IPSO 3.8 delivers a significant increase in firewall CPS throughput and VPN encryption performance, as well as cost savings with improved dollar per megabit throughput across Nokias IP platform family. Nokia IPSO 3.8 also provides administrator tools to manage Nokia IP security platforms through a choice of Web-based Nokia Network Voyager interface or comprehensive Command Line Interface (CLI). Each of these interfaces enables complete configuration of Nokia IPSO devices in all their details and variations, and are robust interfaces for complete single device management. The security, performance and reliability of Nokias entire IP security appliance family is backed by Nokias world-class First Call - Final Resolution global support and service.
