Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions require robust network segmentation to isolate sensitive customer data and comply with strict regulatory mandates like PCI DSS and SOX.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers must secure patient data (PHI) under HIPAA, necessitating network isolation between different departments and systems to prevent unauthorized access.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Industrial networks often require segregation between IT and OT (Operational Technology) environments to protect critical control systems from cyber threats and ensure operational continuity.
Government & Public Sector
Government agencies handle sensitive information and often operate complex, multi-tenant networks that benefit from VRF technology for security and compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a VRF?
VRF stands for Virtual Routing and Forwarding. It is a technology that allows multiple routing instances to exist within a single router, enabling network segmentation and traffic isolation.
What does 'Full Scale' mean in this license?
Full Scale indicates that the license enables the maximum number of VRF instances supported by the hardware platform, allowing for extensive network segmentation.
Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license, providing ongoing access to the software features and support for the duration of the subscription term.
