freeGuard Slim Series | Network Traffic and
Security Management Appliances
The freeGuard Slim series of traffic shapping appliances enable
you to manage network traffic flow to optimize and protect
network and server infrastructures. Deployed in front of servers
or network equipment at the LAN Level, they are a non-
intrusive solution for managing against bandwidth abuse or
attacks against network infrastructure. freedom9’s devices are
based on the new RDX technology, which supports monitoring
network flows at 2 Gbps throughput while maintaining line
quality and low latency.
The devices are configured using granular user-defined policies
identifying thresholds for session creation, per flow bandwidth
and aggregate bandwidth.
With their compact form factor and low power characteristics,
they support flexible deployment options that are traditionally
limited by space and power restrictions. Using less than 15
Watts, the freeGuard Slim series reduce the cost of operation
over traditional flow monitoring devices.
The freedom9 freeGuard Slim Series is designed for:
• Advanced server attack detection and alerting
• Session bandwidth usage monitoring
• Early network bandwidth health altering
• Network anomaly detection
• Non-intrusive and real-time session monitoring
