Microsoft has joined with key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to bring Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server and Microsoft's Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG)-based security appliances to market. These solutions combine the best of ISA Server 2006 and IAG 2007 with a hardened configuration of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and optimized hardware so they are ready to deploy right out of the box.
Key benefits include:
| • | Hardware comes pre-loaded, pre-configured, and pre-tested with ISA Server or IAG, or both.
|
| • | Hardened configuration for reduced attack surface.
|
| • | Easy to purchase, set up, and deploy.
|
| • | Out-of-box configuration tools and Web-based administration available (on some models from some OEMs).
