DrayTek VigorPro 5500 High Performance Security Firewall with Unified Threat Management

DSL-Warehouse View:

Draytek have introduced the VigorPro 5500 to their enterprise range to improve on their current offerings.  The 5500 is the next step up from the Draytek Vigor 2950, which comes with many of the same features (load balancing/VPN/WAN Failover).  However the VigorPro 5500 looks to compete with and beat the likes of Zyxel with their new UTM(AntiVirus/AntiIntrusion/AntiSpam) feature which could be a the key to this product becoming a success.

Why Buy:

The Draytek VigorPro 5500 uses a hardware-accelerated architecture that provides the ability to perform real-time security without slowing down critical network applications.

The Vigor Pro performs as a firewall as well as an internet gateway and this enbles the unit to block attacks at the point of entry.  However the unit is also capable of providing a complete complement of integrated services which eliminates the need to have independent systems to deal with threats.
These services include:

• Anti-Virus
• Intrusion  Prevention
• Intrusion-detection
• Web content filter (power by SurfControl)

Through the online config, the administrator can not only monitor but also instruct the VigorPro 5500 unit to look for any vulnerability in your network and the provide protection of all hosts inside the network edge before threats intrude.
