Rock Solid Security
CITADEL-Series Routers offer the customer a perfect security solution by full-range VPN and stateful firewall support. The intensive security mechanism repels malicious attacks from hackers, secures the precious data from eavesdropping, and protects users from any loss. All this with minimal performance impact.
Advanced Traffic-shaping Engine
CITADELS's Traffic-shaping engine helps the network manager to manipulate network traffic in a more granular manner. Network manager can adjust bandwidth consumption to adapt to real applications and fine-tune network utilization for specific components of the network, for example: a policy can be set to limit bandwidth for P2P applications like Kazaa, eMule etc., thus saving bandwidth for business-critical applications.
Local Security and Online Monitoring by Optional USB Web Camera
CITADEL-Series is equipped with one USB port, which gives users the option to install WEB camera for local security and online monitoring. Motion detection, along with e-mail alert, informs users of instant happenings.
Fail-Over and Load-Balancing, Increased Availability Guarantee
To improve availability and reliability, CITADEL-Series delivers two-tier fail-over mechanism. All CITADEL appliances support entry-level fail-over between WAN and Serial line. In addition, -200 and -200W models offer increased Internet, VPN uptime, and boosts performance by supporting two broadband links on a single CITADEL Router. The two broadband links can be terminated at different providers and provide more bandwidth to the users. Any link failure will automatically switch traffic to another operational link with the help of the built-in fail-over mechanism. The load-balancing feature, at the same time, not only escalates the performance of the whole network, but also optimizes network utilization.
DMZ - De-Militarized Zone, Adapts more Security Options
CITADEL-Series supports two-tier DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) applications (software and hardware). All CITADEL-Series appliances support software DMZ via a hardened secure kernel. For CL-200 and CL-200W models, the additional WAN port can be implemented as hardware DMZ port. This gives the administrator a convenient option to leverage security policy and productivity, especially for remote and mobile users. With the help of DMZ setting, administrator can define different security zones on a network to host different services and servers. For example, the internal network can be reinforced with the strictest security rules, while hosts such as web server and email server can be placed in a relatively open environment on the DMZ.
