Qwest iQ® Networking® Enhanced Port with Secure IP Gateway (SIG)
Service Description
A Single Port For Reliable, Private IP WAN and Internet Access
Qwest iQ® Networking® Enhanced Port service provides a convenient and cost-effective solution for customers who operate multiple network locations that need a private intranet network along with a method to connect to the public Internet.
Qwest has expanded the capabilities of the iQ® Networking® Enhanced Port to include an optional, network-based firewall feature called Secure IP Gateway (SIG). Secure IP Gateway (only available with Enhanced Port) will divert Internet traffic from a Qwest private MPLS network to a network-based firewall where customer-defined security policies are enforced.
The integrated Qwest iQ® Networking® Enhanced Port solution means the customer will no longer need to maintain separate network ports and premises-based firewall services at their location, which translates into saving time, money, and maintenance tasks for customers.
Description
Qwest iQ® Networking® Enhanced Port combines private and public IP service via Qwest's reliable Dedicated IP, frame relay, ATM and Ethernet local access loop types. Speeds range from 64Kbps on a DS-1 up to OC-48 and Ethernet speeds from 2 Mbps up to Gigabit Ethernet.
The Secure IP Gateway service separates public Internet traffic requests from the customer's private MPLS VPN WAN traffic in a manner that helps ensure the security of your corporate intranet, while allowing your users to access all the robust features of the Internet.
