Kerio WinRoute Firewall Offers Bandwidth Limiter to SMBs in New Version
Kerio WinRoute Firewall 6.2 throttles precious Internet bandwidth and introduces dual-antivirus gateway protection
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 23 / -- Kerio Technologies, Inc. today announced that Kerio WinRoute Firewall 6.2, its Windows gateway firewall and VPN package for SMBs, has further improved its robust feature set with Bandwidth Limiter and dual-engine antivirus protection.
Kerio WinRoute Firewall's new Bandwidth Limiter acts as a simple Quality of Service (QoS) device that slows down Internet connection for heavy traffic users to make space for bandwidth-sensitive applications such as VoIP. Individual bandwidth hogs are thus unable to cripple the network's resources with large file downloads or uploads. Bandwidth Limiter also allows network administrators to configure daily or monthly quotas for bandwidth usage.
"Inconsistent network performance is a concern of most SMBs that rely on Internet-based technologies to do business," said Dusan Vitek, vice president of marketing, Kerio Technologies. "Kerio WinRoute Firewall 6.2 with Bandwidth Limiter helps administrators ensure reliable connectivity for business applications with minimal impact on power users."
Kerio WinRoute Firewall 6.2 will also make it possible to simultaneously utilize both the integrated McAfee Antivirus engine as well as any of the supported third party antivirus software packages. With this option selected, all files passing through the firewall are scanned by both anti-virus software solutions for maximum security. Kerio WinRoute Firewall scans VPN, web, FTP and email traffic for viruses as it enters and leaves the network.
"From our standpoint, the QoS Bandwidth Limiter feature of Kerio WinRoute Firewall has been another invaluable addition to the functionality of the firewall," said David Wagner of Accounting Systems Consulting, a Kerio Business Partner based in Las Vegas, Nevada. "This is just another example of one of the many 'high-end' features inherent in Kerio WinRoute Firewall at a price point that can't be beat, and reinforces our use of Kerio WinRoute Firewall as the solution of choice for our clients."
