IS DMZ (Continued)

Benefits

• Fully Outsourced Solution: The DMZ is a fully managed, hosted and supported solution which eliminates the time, skills and expense a company faces when setting up and maintaining its own firewall within the IS hosting environment.
• Multiple DMZs: The DMZ solution allows a client to create multiple DMZs within the IS hosting environment, thereby not only protecting the hosted servers and server farms from the internet but can be used for secure segmentation of the hosting environment. The DMZ can also be used to connect 3rd party connections into the network.
• DMZ Reporting and Monitoring: The advance reporting structure provides high levels of transparency into the data being transferred to and from the DMZ, displaying information such as traffic volume, source and destination IP address. This reporting is delivered via IS’ web base customer portal, the Customer Zone. All report logs are stored for 60 days and reports can be scheduled to be delivered in .pdf format via e-mail.
• Economies of Scale: The DMZ environment is built to very high levels of infrastructure redundancy, this type of high availability environment is extremely expensive for a single client to deploy, involving multiple devices and technologies. However, by leveraging off IS, this type of robust, high service level and integrity infrastructure deployment can be brought down to affordable levels.
• Optional Anti-Virus: Anti-Virus scanning of HTTP, IMAP, POP3, FTP and SMTP traffic going into the DMZ is an optional extra
