[Feb 17, 2004]
SEOUL, Korea, Feb 17, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall
via COMTEX/ -- NetScreen Technologies, Inc. (NSCN) today
announced that Korea DACOM Corporation, a LG Group affiliate
and Korea's leading Internet services company, has selected
NetScreen's network security appliances and systems
to provide firewall protection and virtual private network
(VPN) connectivity for many of DACOM's enterprise managed
service customers in Korea.
Additionally, DACOM has selected from
NetScreen's comprehensive product line, high-end integrated
firewall/ VPN systems to secure its mission-critical
infrastructure that is designed to provide and support
its 24x7 eBiz managed service. DACOM's deployment includes
multiple units of NetScreen's gigabit firewall and VPN
systems, which are paired and deployed in High Availability
mode to protect DACOM's eBiz infrastructure backbone.
More than 300 NetScreen appliances --
including the versatile NetScreen-200 series, -50, -25,
and -5 devices -- are installed at customer sites located
throughout the country to protect their core networks
and establish secure connections to DACOM's infrastructure.
The NetScreen solution was chosen after
an extensive evaluation and testing to ensure that it
delivers the same high performance, stability and reliability
as DACOM's eBiz service commitments to its many leased-line
and broadband enterprise customers.
In addition to providing firewall and
VPN functionality for DACOM's primary eBiz service offering,
NetScreen is the selected security solution provider
for other DACOM services, including BORANet, a leased-line
service for business customers, as well as for the company's
subsidiary operations, such as Korea Internet Data Center
(KIDC), which offers co-location and Web hosting services
in Korea.
"All our integrated network security
appliances and systems are designed with stringent customer
requirements in mind, like easy, flexible deployment
options and device scalability," said David Flynn,
NetScreen vice president of marketing. "In the
case of DACOM, we have worked with the customer to understand
and address their central site security needs while
enabling them to leverage their investment to further
expand their business and customer base."
