Features

Our Procyon FW series of security appliances are based on a unique micro form factor server with a 128MB Flash card based Operating System, 256MB of RAM and three 10/100 Ethernet ports (allowing LAN, WAN and DMZ).

Like all Procyon appliances, the FW provides all the tools you need to configure and manage, all from an easy to use web-based GUI. The FW is also capable of providing secure Remote Access (or VPN connection), and can be used to provide managed services monitoring.

Applications

The Procyon FW appliance is designed for small offices, branch and remote offices with 2 to 50 users utilising all standard Internet connections (ADSL, ISDN modem etc).

Protocols

The Procyon FW provides proxy and cache services for HTTP, FTP, Gopher and WAIS protocols, and proxy services for HTTPS. It supports both ICP and Cache Digests protocols for integrating multiple web caching proxies, as well as WCCPv1, CARP, and HTCP. Support for all common network management utilities is provided via SNMP protocol support.

Web-Based GUI

Our comprehensive web-based interface makes all common tasks simple and quick. All of our tools are integrated into a common and consistent interface. It allows delegation of duties to multiple administrators, safely, via an advanced access control system.

Authentication

All common authentication protocols are supported, including NTLM, and Basic and Digest HTTP standard authentication. Directory servers are also supported, including Active Directory and LDAP.

Access Controls

Extremely flexible access control list features are available to allow for fine-grained control based on user name, client address, destination, time of day, and much more.

Reporting

The Procyon FW includes extensive reporting facilities at no extra cost, providing a complete picture of user behaviour and system performance. Both real-time and long-term reporting functionality is available. Our integrated support module makes it easy to submit new issues to Syncretize support staff and get quick solutions.

Warranty and Support

Two Year Warranty

The Procyon server line has a long history of reliable performance. Some of our servers are still in use after five years. But these proxy servers do have moving parts in them, and as you know, anything with moving parts sometimes fails despite best intentions. So, in order to take the worry out of owning a Procyon, we'll gladly fix anything that breaks at no cost for two years from date of purchase. Not only that, we'll also pay for priority shipping both ways, so repairs can be made quickly and it won't cost you a cent. When you buy an appliance, even one priced as low as the Procyon, shouldn't you have the luxury of not worrying about hardware failure? Yeah, we think so too.

Unlimited Support for Two Years

With the web-based GUI interface and reliable software in a Procyon FW, we doubt you'll need a lot of help to get things running. But we don't want you to feel you have nowhere to go for help. For one year, you can email us and we will give you a prompt and useful reply.

Syncretize can also design a range of support services which are tailored to both you and your organisations requirements. This can allow for access to our Technical Support staff over extended access periods.
