Smoothwall products are Enterprise Class security solutions for all businesses of all sizes.
 When it comes
to security for your business there is no better solution than
Smoothwall. When you compare the Smoothwall products to
the competition, they beat them hands down. When it
comes to cost, Smoothwall delivers clear value and
savings. Smoothwall products can make your business
safer (firewalls), improve productivity (VPNs/road warrior
access), and in some cases even reduce your legal liability in
the work environment you provide (web/content
filtering).
What makes Smoothwall so unique is the products are software based and can be installed on just about any x86 platform. They are completely self contained with a hardened operation system and security application. Once installed the entire product is COMPLETELY managed through a SIMPLE GUI web interface (unlike many other solutions that require command line knowledge). The delivery of the product is a simple download. Burn the ISO image, pop in the CD, install on the PC/Server and you are good to go. Anyone with basic* technical skills can run a Smoothwall product in as little as 10 minutes!
When you compare Smoothwall on a feature by feature basis they blow away the competition. Smoothwall is thousands of dollars less. Base products (Corporate Firewall 2008) only cost a few hundred dollars (call for exact quote as our partner agreement prohibits us from posting our prices online 1-888-808-0871).
In addition the Smoothwall products are modular and upgradable. You can purchase the base product and add additional functionality when you need it. There is also Upgrade Assurance so you can keep your product fresh and take advantage of new releases.
New for 2008 is the 1000-UTM & 250-UTM Security Appliances for those that want a solution that includes hardware.
