January 19, 2005 – Kelowna BC Canada – Canadian based wholesale HSP RackForce, announced that it has upgraded its managed FortiGate ASIC accelerated anti-virus firewalls. These upgrades enable RackForce’s managed security services to handle increasing volumes of traffic with a superior level of efficiency.
“Two things really fueled the decision to upgrade so quickly — RackForce first introduced FortiGate Services in its data centers in Sept. 2004 — our rapid growth in the VPS and dedicated server markets,” stated Davin Overland, RackForce General Manager, ”and perhaps more importantly to meet the increasing demands resulting from expanded use of real time applications,”
“Since our FortiGate systems operate independent of client servers, it doesn’t matter what OS or configuration they have on their server, “ praised Doug Alder, RackForce Sales. “The beauty is our system’s ability to detect and eliminate viruses, worms and other content-based threats without reducing the customer’s server performance.”
RackForce offers the following managed security services: firewall with intrusion detection, virus filtering or spam tagging. These services can be ordered individually, in any combination or as a complete package.
