High availability:
Security for the case of need

The high availability of gateProtect firewall systems is based on an active/passive system where a secondary firewall is installed in parallel with the primary firewall. The secondary firewall synchronises itself constantly with the primary firewall using dedicated connections. It can therefore at any time take over the work of the primary firewall, should this fail, without any manual intervention.

Furthermore, the status of the primary firewall is monitored by different systems. If any problems are detected in the firewall, it switches itself off. The secondary firewall enables the synchronised configuration and can continue operating in the place of the primary firewall immediately. Downtime is minimised and problems can be dealt with under less pressure.
