Real Firewalls, Virtual Networks: IBM System z Security

Tags:
firewalls

Overview With IBM System z mainframes, server consolidation dramatically reduces costs associated with large server farms. Whether one deploys mainframes for this exciting new possibility, or simply to protect existing mainframe transactions, one system stands out as the most effective security option: StoneGate. Although external firewalls or Linux iptables could be deployed, no other solution available today for the System z best combines an award winning, secure firewall and VPN while addressing the issues of manageability, availability and scalability as Stonesoft's StoneGate firewall and VPN solution.
