Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 offers policy-based security, enhanced performance, monitoring and easy management of internetworking by providing both a firewall and a Web cache server integrated with Microsoft's familiar Windows 2000 operating system. The firewall provides extensive data filtering, control of access policy, and traffic routing. The cache improves network performance by storing frequently requested Web content.

ISA Server can significantly enhance network security, enforce consistent Internet usage policy, accelerate Internet access, and improve employee productivity.


Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
A VPN connect branch offices and remote users by utilizing a public network, such as the Internet, while providing the same security as a private network.  Since using a Virtual Private Network involves encrypting data before sending it through the public network and decrypting it once it is received, information is securely protected.  Also, because Virtual Private Networks use an existing WAN (Wide Area Network) infrastructure, costs are dramatically reduced and deployment is faster than traditional private networks.  Call for an estimate.
