Reflex Security adds redundant clustering to IPS line

Traffic inspection and blocking can continue if a primary intrusion-prevention appliance fails, Reflex says.

Reflex Security today announced it added redundant clustering capabilities to its multi-gigabit intrusion-prevention systems to provide enterprises with secure failover protection.

The Reflex Security MG-5 appliance, which reaches speeds of 5Gbps, and the MG-10, which reaches 10Gbps, are now equipped with what Reflex calls its “redundant clustering architecture” that lets IPS traffic inspection and blocking continue if a primary IPS fails.

According to John Peterson, vice president of product marketing at Reflex, the IPS appliance line is now designed with clustered blades together in one box. “If an IPS blade fails, you have another blade,” he pointed out. In addition, if the entire box goes down, it’s possible to failover to a second IPS appliance.
