Hardware appliances are the most common form of firewall protection. In most cases these units are comprised of a small-footprint computer combined with a hardened operating system that provides control over all network traffic.

Some brands will inevitably cut corners with inferior hardware components, but ICE Systems only sells and supports firewall appliance products constructed with quality parts and proven to be reliable.

We look for firewall solutions that can pack a high level of functionality into the product without rendering the system unreasonably complex to manage. The appliance needs to provide extraordinary protection while allowing network administrators to do their job quickly and efficiently.
