Internet security appliance combines the Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz or Celeron M 1.3GHz processor with the Intel 855GME/852GM and Intel ICH4 chipset.

New from Adlink Technology, the ALS-3104B Internet security appliance combines the Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz or Celeron M 1.3GHz processor with the Intel 855GME/852GM and Intel ICH4 chipset. Housed in an ergonomic, easy-to-install 1U chassis, the ALS-3104B offers a reliable network-grade bypass feature on two of its four Fast Ethernet ports to ensure continuous connection even during system halt or power disruptions. The network bypass function, which can be controlled by a hardware component or software application, is essential for delivering uninterrupted Internet communications, 24/7.

The ALS-3104B's slim form factor enables fast integration to standard server farms and rack configurations.

The ALS-3104B is suitable for spam e-mail filtering and content security, firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, and antivirus applications.

For remote system control, the ALS-3104B is fully compatible with Intel Boot Agent allowing remote reboot during critical system failure.

Onboard the ALS-3104B is a programmable watchdog timer that maintains smooth application execution and data processing.

For convenient installation of OS and Internet security applications, the ALS-3104B incorporates a Type II CompactFlash card slot that effectively eliminates system downtime caused by HDD failures.

The ALS-3104B supports up to 1Gbyte of system memory using a 184-pin DDR DIMM and provides ample I/O interfaces including an RS232 port for local system management, two USB 2.0 ports for peripheral connection, and PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard.

The ALS-3104B chassis also provides room for a 3.5in hard disk drive and comes with system fans for thermal management.

Identifying the ALS-3104B system and connection status is simple with LED indicators strategically located in the system front panel.

The ALS-3104B has customisable form factor, LAN ports, and I/O interface combinations that could fit any OEM requirement. Bankruptcy

'The ALS-3104B is a very flexible and dependable network security platform'.

'It empowers the user to select components, such as the CPU, depending on the performance level they want the appliance to achieve', Alex Yang, Embedded Product Centre Manager said.
