ApplianX common features
ApplianX products share a number of common features that together contribute to a low total cost of ownership, along with exceptional return on investment.
Such features are:
Ease of installation and administration
19" rack-mount presentation eases installation and co-existence with other infrastructure equipment. Configuration and administration is facilitated by the use of an integrated HTML web server for remote configuration and monitoring, plus support for SNMP, RADIUS and event logging. Extensive standards compliance ensures maximum compatibility with other systems.
Performance and functionality
High performance and rich functionality are achieved by design, by focussing upon specific tasks within the converged network, and delivering solutions that address those tasks in breadth and in depth (rather than attempting to produce a "Swiss Army Knife" device).
