Called the Brick because of its rugged, reliable design, the Lucent VPN Firewall is an ideal business-class platform for service providers delivering advanced security, VPN, or web/application hosting services. Whether service providers are supporting customer premises equipment (CPE) or customer-located equipment (CLE) centralized within their data center, VPN Firewalls offer unparalleled scalability, manageability, and dependability.

VPN Firewalls interoperate seamlessly with the Lucent Security Management Server (LSMS) to streamline centralized remote management of distributed IP networks, and with the Lucent IPsec Client for telecommuter and mobile worker remote access VPNs. The powerful LSMS simplifies security and VPN services deployment, scales readily to support network expansion, and consolidates end-to-end installation, administration, and management tasks. The IPSec Client eliminates the need to distribute, set up, or import complex configuration parameters or initialization files. As a result, large-scale IP services can be centrally provisioned and managed by either the enterprise or the service provider.
