Securepoint UTM High Availability/Hot-standby
UTM Firewalls have a special meaning in networks and communication. They are responsible to safe the IT infrastructure against unwanted access. They are the first walls to protect the organisation and the fundamental communication system.
But what happens, if there is a UTM hardware crash?
The company is cut off from the environment and the workflow stops immediately, means all internet based communication can't be continued. Another problem could be the internal IP communication, if the network is split up by the DMZ of the firewall.
All Securepoint UTM systems can be used to increase the availability.
Thanks to the Secure-by-Default-philosophy, Securepoint is able to create firewall systems with a high availability. As soon as two systems are connected, they configure themselves for high availability business. Both systems always keep the data synchrony, so in case of a breakdown of the master system the switch to the slave system goes automatically within a couple of seconds.
