  3. Need of H/A for Business

  4. Current Business Situation • Current your network has a Single Firewall Appliance , Corporate business availability depends largely on IT network availability . • Network security , Proxy , VPN , Email applications are being currently implemented with a Firewall . Business also uses ISP failover . • Hardware failure of Firewall results in Network Downtime which effects the operational continuity of a Business environment . • Any Network Downtime Results to Business revenue Loss , as the complete IT Network and internet connectivity gets disturbed . • Also Remote VPN Users who are connected to the Application servers for HO data trasnfer get disconnected which results in productivity loss for them . • Network Downtime also Results in Business image loss for Business . • Firewall being a very important active component in the IT Setup requires a disaster recovery plan .

  5. Single Firewall scenario

  6. With High availability or Clustering solution with 2 AnexGATE Firewall Appliances . • Firewall Clustering or Firewall Redundancy is the arrangement of 2 or more Firewalls designed & configured either for Availability or for Performance or for both. • Firewalls configured in Master-Slave/Hot-Cold/Active-Passive/Primary-Backup mode, ensures High Availability of N/W. • So incase the primary Firewall fails , the complete network can be automatically diverted to the secondary firewall thus ensuring no business downtime /loss . How to ensure N/W availability

  7. How the H/A solution works

  8. One Firewall in Cluster is configured as Primary/Master/Active. • Redundancy based protocol VRRP is used to detect failure. • Detection is based on Heartbeats. • Heartbeats are token messages that Firewall sends periodically to each other. • If Primary stops Heartbeats, VRRP assumes Primary is not Available. • Subsequently VRRP selects the Secondary/Slave/Passive Firewall to become new Primary. • The prevalent Primary Firewall owns a Virtual IP. • This Virtual IP is the Gateway for Peers in the N/W. Working of H/A Solution

  9. When Primary appliance Fails Secondary takes over .

  10. Load balancing scenario

  11. The other approach in Firewall Clustering is Multi-Primary or Load Balancing mode.This configuration ensures Performance as well as Availability. • N/W Traffic Flow can be evenly distributed. This results in Performance.Also in case of Failure, Secondary Firewall takes over all the N/W traffic management until Primary Firewall is restored/revived. • This Scenario is particularly useful in Sudden High peak requirements of network where Network load needs to be shared and ensure performance for applications like Trading , ERP , CRM or Emails .

  12. High availability Network Design

  13. When Primary Device Fails , Network Diagram

  14. H/A ensures almost zero Downtime of your Business Network . As a failure of any single Firewall Device involved in H/A design is transparent to the N/W traffic . In effect, the N/W stays unaffected in the event of failure of any single Firewall without loss of packets, sessions and more importantly security. H/A Solution Ensures that your IT infrastructure Runs smoothly without any downtime . Thus ensuring your instant ROI . How to avoid Business downtime with H/A

  15. Technical Benefits of H/A Design:Higher Bandwidth ThroughputSmaller LatencyLesser BottlenecksHigher Mean-Up TimeHigher PerformanceHigher AvailabilityMore frequent Security Updates & PatchesBusiness Benefits of H/A Design:Almost Zero Business DowntimeImproved Productivity of N/WLesser Security threats Improved N/W Efficiency Resilient IT infrastructure and Business productivity Business Benefits of H/A Solution

  16. Cost of Ownership of the H/A Solution . • Budgetary allocation and ROI . • How the Solution would be beneficial for Business • Business results provided by the H/A Solution . • Action plan moving forward . • Queries related to the Solution . • Basic Issues and resolution . • Client references Questions and Answer
