SnapGear PCI630
Internet security promises to be bolstered by SnapGear's new VPN Firewall PCI card, which the company claims is the first fully isolated stateful firewall PCI device. All firewall and VPN processes are off-loaded from the host computer to the PCI card, allowing for higher security with a smaller footprint. The PCI630 lets admins isolate affected systems independently. Additionally, DMZ-based servers can use two cards to sandwich remote access to the network between two VPN firewall appliances.
