3Com delivers affordable, standards-based, end-to-end security throughout the enterprise. For industry-leading safeguards at unmatched affordability, the 3Com Security Switch 6200 combines an enterprise-class firewall, virtual private networks (VPNs), intrusion detection, antivirus, spam, and content filtering, and other functionalities into a high-performance security platform. 3Com's array of firewalls defends the network perimeter, deterring denial of service attacks and intrusions. These advanced systems also protect messaging and data over the WAN or Internet by encrypting traffic in robust VPNs.
3Com uniquely extends security into the interior of the network. 3Com Embedded Firewalls are tamper-resistant firewalls fixed to network interface cards (NICs) for desktops, servers, and laptop computers. Providing powerful, device-level protection, this innovative solution enforces enterprise-wide security policies, transforming vital servers and devices into lockboxes that are accessible only to authorized users.
3Com also engineers standards-based security functionality into its switching platforms. They support RADIUS authentication and access control lists (ACLs) to allow only legitimate users to retrieve designated directories or files. They offer virtual LANs (VLANs), enabling administrators to segment network traffic and restrict access to key servers. The 3Com SuperStack® Switch 4400 provides multi-layered port control and can inspect and filter packets at wire speeds, blocking unwanted applications and protocols from the network.

3Com solutions offer industry-leading ease of management, enabling even small organizations to control their networks affordably and efficiently. The 3Com Network Supervisor management application allows administrators to centrally monitor and configure the system to prevent the congestion or failures that disrupt services. The tool integrates with RADIUS and 802.1X management features, providing real-time network maps of 802.1X clients, VLANs, and users' points of network access. The 3Com Network Administrator system provides the same capabilities in HP OpenView networks.
The SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 PWR delivers electrical power over network cabling, helping to restore services if power outlets fail. This capability also offers low-cost, physical surveillance by supporting video streaming from surveillance cameras while powering the devices. If a camera is unplugged, the system will automatically notify administrators.
Moreover, 3Com stands by its customers with extensive services and support, from needs assessments to implementation. 3Com even offers advance hardware replacement with next-day delivery for some of its devices, helping organizations restore services quickly in the event of disruption.
