Clavister a unique technology since its first core

Clavister with its COS Core is an IT security technology vendor that has evolved over the years from a high-performance advanced router and firewall to a comprehensive toolkit that includes all the security features you would expect from a core protection product.
Advanced Router Firewall VPN IDP/IPS Web Filtering Anti-Virus Bandwidth Management (QoS) Authentication Application Protection (VoIP Messaging Browsing FTP etc.) Application Control these are only a few of the features found in the Clavister core and which are available in the first product for VSEs as well as for large telecom operators.

And what about this cOS Core

Clavister developers have managed in a kernel not exceeding 2 MB! to put all the security functions! It is therefore a 100% proprietary operating system (even the network drivers are developed internally) without inheritance of the flaws of known systems (Windows Linux etc.) like the main products on the market.
Its size so compact requires thousands/millions of lines of code less than its competitors.
The software is developed by people and the "bugs" that often open up network attacks are nothing more than programming errors...
This brings us to an "objective" conclusion as far as robustness and level of protection is concerned i.e. Clavister can claim to havethe most secure security kernel with an almost non-existent attack surface.

The secret is in the core! and the benefits that follow

Security

The size minimal footprint independence from any OS etc places Clavister at the highest security level.
Clavister is today the only publisher/builder that is exclusively dedicated to one area: One technology/solution for complete perimeter security.

Evolutivity

Thanks to the xPansion Lines licensing concept within each hardware & virtual series you have the possibility to easily migrate to higher models while keeping the same hardware/image and the same license.

Performance

Already in its early days ('98) the kernel was reaching unencrypted speeds of 400/500 Mbps while managing up to 64 symmetric network interfaces! 3 times the competitors at the same time.
Today Clavister reaches hundreds of Gbps and already in 2011 had broken the record by getting close to a firewalling throughput of 500 Gbps!
This was a world record much anticipated by Clavister's long-time OEM partners (telecom giants etc) who are all moving forward with Video/Data/Voice over IP network offerings in bulk.
This same core can be found in both entry-level and high-end Clavister!

Administration & Maintenance

All Clavister products regardless of the platform (Physical Appliance or/and Virtual) are administrable natively via Web Interface SSH or/and in command line.
For centralized management of multiple equipment and to benefit from all the richness of supervision maintenance and administration the InControl Server/Client software is available free of charge for the entire range (license included in the maintenance contracts).
InControl includes: Configuration Alarm and Audit Center Update multiple devices centrally Real-time log History of changes with rollback capability Customizable dashboard Granular hierarchy for device rights and much more...
