Finally—a multi-Gig, multi-segment intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) at a price that will keep that vein on your CFO's forehead from bulging.

Strata Guard® is a software-based IDS/IPS that gives you the same speed and security as comparable solutions that cost two, three, and even four times as much. It's powered by the MG Accelerator™ our proprietary, patent-pending technology that allows off-the-shelf hardware to achieve multi-Gig speeds. Performance data is present in the graph at right.

Other vendors build their high-speed IDS/IPS solutions on specialized hardware, like ASIC-based platforms, where the processor is custom designed for a single application. It's an expensive approach, and that's why they have to kill you on price.

Take advantage of Moore's Law
The Strata Guard system you buy today is ready for tomorrow. As computing power continues its exponential growth beyond today's quad-core systems, your Strata Guard investment keeps pace. Its multi-threaded architecture is designed specifically for multi-core processors, so when next-generation 8-, 16-, or 32-core machines become all the rage, Strata Guard is ready.

A Lamborghini comfortable at mini-van speeds
Maybe multi-Gig capabilities are over-kill for your network. That's why Strata Guard is available in six different models that cover the spectrum from 4 Gigs down to 50 Mbps. The table below tells the story.
