The premium firewall solution for medium-sized businesses.
The MB330 firewall bundle provides a premium level of security, performance, and fault tolerance for companies with 250 or fewer PC connections or IP nodes. It's ideal for medium-sized businesses and central and regional offices that want access or would like to host e-business applications on the Internet. The MB330 integrates best-in-class networking capabilities with a fully functional version of the Check Point™ FireWall-1 application. With its combination of excellent serviceability, system availability, scalability, throughput, and affordable price, the MB330 delivers a new class of integrated security.

Secure Enterprise Firewalling
The MB330 is an integrated hardware/software solution that is tuned specifically to run Check Point'sFireWall-1. By taking advantage of the high performance architecture of the Nokia IP330 firewall/router appliance platform, the MB330 firewall bundle packs in more benefits than other platforms running FireWall-1, including enhanced security, performance, high availability, reliability, manage-ability, and routing. The MB330 also leverages the full capabilities of FireWall-1's Stateful Inspection software, the de facto standard for network security, invented and patented by Check Point. Stateful Inspection provides full application-layer awareness without requiring a separate proxy for every Internet service and protocol. This provides unparalleled performance, scalability, and the ability to support new and custom applications and services quickly and easily.

Reliable Router Platform
The MB330 integrates Nokia's IP330 firewall/router appliance platform. This semi-fixed configuration platform is integrated with three 10/100 Ethernet ports, a T1 leased line interface card in its expansion slot, and a modem for remote management.

Security
Since the Nokia appliance's only purpose is to run FireWall-1, its proprietary IPSO operating system is not prone to the many, well publicized security holes found in most general purpose operating systems that were not developed with the sole purpose of providing security. IPSO's enhanced security makes the MB330 a perfect choice for security-conscious network administrators.

Performance
Because it's engineered specifically to run Check Point FireWall-1, Nokia's IPSO makes the most of the hardware's capabilities, delivering a maximum packet-forwarding rate of over 30Mbps – a speed that leaves most Microsoft NT hosts behind.

Reliability
Unlike a general purpose operating system, the only purpose of the IPSO software is to support FireWall-1, ensuring Nokia's commitment to maintain integration between IPSO and FireWall-1. Likewise, Check Point is equally committed to providing a premium level of support for the Nokia platforms.

Manageability
By utilizing the intuitive Voyager® interface, the MB330 appliance platform is fully manageable through a Web browser. This innovation allows the platform to be securely managed from anywhere in the network. The MB330 can also be managed through a serial cable connected to its console port via integrated analog modem or through telnet and secure shell (SSH – encrypted telnet). The high degree of manageability of this platform virtually eliminates the need to physically travel to the equipment after initial installation.

Routing
The Nokia IPSO software adds full router functionality, allowing the MB330 Firewall Bundle to fully integrate into any network environment. In fact, the inclusion of a T1 interface to the MB330 eliminates the need to front-end the firewall with a router, which is necessary with most other firewall platforms.

Industry-Leading Maintenance and Support
The MB330 comes bundled with premium-level manufacturer support for a year after installation through the Gold Support Program. The bundle includes software subscription and updates for a full year for both the Nokia IPSO and Check Point FireWall-1, advanced hardware replacement, phone support during business hours, online knowledge base access, and a guaranteed four hour service response time. Gold Support can be renewed annually.

Installation and Configuration Expertise
Recognized by the industry as experts in design, integration, and implementation, the members of the Network Security Practice offer an unparalleled level of expertise and experience in the subtleties of network security. This is particularly important considering that nearly all firewall breaches occur because of misconfiguration rather than by any failure in the firewall itself. All Venture Technologies' Firewall Bundles and enhancement packages are fully tested and installed on your site by the security engineers of Venture Technologies' Network Security Practice.
