FE OfficeMaster Gate (Virtual Edition)

The FE OfficeMaster Gate (Virtual Edition) stands apart from hardware-bound security appliances by delivering enterprise-grade protection as a pure software solution. It runs on your existing virtualization infrastructure, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware while providing the same robust security features you'd expect from a physical firewall. This virtual appliance is ideal for organizations looking to consolidate their network security into a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective package.

Highlights

• Virtual appliance compatible with VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, and Citrix XenServer
• Comprehensive security suite: stateful firewall, IPS, VPN (IPsec/SSL), web filtering, application control, anti-malware, and anti-spam
• High throughput potential: up to 1 Gbps firewall and 500 Mbps VPN (host hardware dependent)
• Flexible licensing: subscription-based per-instance, per-throughput, or per-user
• Centralized management via web GUI, CLI, or centralized platform
• Supports high availability with active-passive clustering
• Integrates with LDAP, Active Directory, and RADIUS for authentication
• Cloud-ready: deployable in private clouds or public IaaS like AWS EC2 and Azure VM

In daily use

Deploy the OfficeMaster Gate Virtual Edition on your preferred hypervisor and configure it through an intuitive web interface or command line. It acts as a full-featured network gateway, providing routing, NAT, DHCP, and DNS proxy services. The built-in SD-WAN readiness ensures optimized traffic flow across multiple WAN links. Real-time monitoring and customizable reports keep you informed, while syslog support integrates with your existing log management. With support for up to 10 virtual NICs, you can segment networks effectively. The hardened Linux base minimizes attack surface, and active-passive clustering ensures business continuity.
