Multi-Tenant Firewall for Dedicated Hosting Servers

Effective immediately, hosting companies can offer root servers to their customers which are secured by our multi-tenant firewall. Legacy offers comprise one dedicated hardware firewall for each customer. By deploying our multi-tenant firewall, providers only need one single firewall appliance for 20 or more customers. Software Management caters for an unlimited number of customers per multi-tenant firewall. The number of customers per multi-tenant firewall is only limited through the guaranteed bandwidth per customer. If a customer has 100 Mbit/sec at a total throughput of 4 Gbit/sec per multi-tenant firewall, a total of 40 customers can be served by one single firewall appliance. The management interface implements a strict separation between each customer. In his own web management interface a customer has no access whatsoever to configuration or log data of other customers. Every customer has the impression to deploy his own, dedicated firewall.

Hence, providers can reduce their cost for firewall services for their customers' root servers considerably. With MARA's multi-tenant firewall, the cost of firewall per customer comes down to a fraction of the cost for traditional dedicated firewalls. Providers and their customers benefit from simplified management and service. Operational cost are much more economic and competitive.
