Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0

Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 is an extensible firewall and content-cache server, providing Internet security while improving network response time and efficiency by 50 percent, on average, for businesses of all sizes. The product is redefining the firewall and content-caching categories. It is the first firewall product to include high-performance content caching. Similarly, it is the first content-cache server to provide firewall support. Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 offers distributed (hierarchical and array-based) Web caching, providing unbeaten scalability, fault tolerance, and load balancing to meet even the rigorous demands of large enterprises and Internet service providers.

Microsoft Proxy Server acts as a gateway with firewall-class security between a LAN and the Internet. The product also blocks access to undesirable sites and provides other easy-to-use management features. It works with existing networks, including IPX networks, and supports several Internet protocols and services.

Microsoft Proxy Server supports inbound and outbound packets filtering. With new integrated intelligence system the Server decides itself which packets are allowed to pass through the secured network. It has a very flexible alarm system and will immediately inform you if your network is under attack. You can locate different applications and even Web servers behind one Proxy Server. Now you can cache not only HTTP 1.0 objects - you can also cache HTTP 1.1 and FTP objects. There is greater control over the Time-to-Live (TTL) setting, as well, with Microsoft Proxy Server version 2.0.

It has become easier to control and administrate: you can do it either remotely via a Web-browser or locally. Multiple proxy servers can be administered simultaneously via transparent Array based administration. This allows change to be propagated to other proxy servers with a single mouse click. You can automatically configure Web Proxy clients by using predefined JavaScripts or by creating your own scripts for great ease-of-use and fast enterprise-wide deployment.
