The BIG-IP load balancing software delivers high availability to VPNs by ensuring that data is routed to a VPN server that is available and responding properly. RedSiren Technologies and RedCreek Communications announced a strategic partnership to offer customers with distributed networks an Internet-based VPN, enhanced with remote monitoring of security, performance, availability and connectivity. RedCreek provides its Ravlin VPN solutions hardware, while RedSiren provides remote security and network management via its 1stWatch service. The solution is bundled to provide a virtual VPN in a box that speeds time to implementation and doesn't specialized IT expertise or support by the customer. The Model 4300 dual encoder packages two MPEG-2 encoders in a small footprint, allowing users to deliver two streams over one IP interface.
All products use the integral Web server for installation and configuration.
