Software-based firewalls are developed using preconfigured versions of Linux that can be installed on any X86-based computer. The firewall software, including the Linux operating system, is loaded onto a computer that has two network cards installed. After installation the operating system and firewall software "takes over" the machine, overwritting any pre-existing operating system and data, converting the machine into a dedicated firewall server.

The firewall software will install onto a once-idle machine in a matter of minutes, converting the old box into a best-of-breed protection system that ensures the safety and integrity of your office. A basic understanding of command line Linux and networking is all that is required.

All of the software firewall solutions offered by ICE Systems includes a web interface, allowing administrators easy and secure access to the firewall server from any computer in their local network. In addition to the web interface, backup and restore functionality is included, easing the burden of hardware repairs if required..
