[October 27, 2003] Quarry Technologies Joins Isocore Internetworking Lab Quarry Technologies®, the performance-leading supplier of carrier-class security service routers, announced today that it has joined the Isocore Internetworking Lab to validate the operation and management of its iQ-series products with leading IP and MPLS networking equipment. The testing will validate the scalability, stability, usability, and interoperability of the iQ-series Security Service Routers to enable service providers to rapidly deploy security services for MPLS and IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). “Security services for VPNs are a priority for service providers and large corporate users as they are challenged daily to protect their network and their clients from service attacks and network threats,” said Dr. Bijan Jabbari, of Isocore. “We are delighted to see Quarry’s Security Service Routers in the Isocore Internetworking Lab to work with its VPN security service offerings.” The Isocore Internetworking Lab will be testing Quarry’s security services for a VPN solution that’s compliant with IETF standard RFC 2547bis. This will demonstrate the capability of Quarry's iQ4000® and iQ8000® platforms to scale and perform as a security service router, maintaining both IP and MPLS VPNs. Quarry's service creation and management system, iQSMS®, will also be tested to verify the ease with which it enables network operators to configure VPNs, each with unique security policies. “The Isocore Internetworking Lab is the only entity that brings both service providers and vendors together to jointly address the challenges of rolling out new technology and services,” said Steve Kohalmi, Chief Technology Officer at Quarry Technologies. “This is invaluable as it enables our customers to deploy the iQ-series platforms with confidence and to deliver secure VPNs and new security services with minimal risk.” [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ]
