Polycom Firewall Solutions
Polycom V²IU™
The Polycom® V²IU series enables reduced costs for your enterprise, by simplifying deployment, management and security of converged video, voice and data networks.
NAT(Network Address Translation) and Firewall traversal issues are resolved by performing video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary. This eliminates security risks posed by other traversal methods that 'tunnel' or obscure video and voice traffic at the existing perimeter.
Polycom V²IU™ 4300T Series
Connect any way you want. The all-in-one networking and security solution to give an edge to your enterprise.
The Polycom® V²IU 4300T employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom® V²IU 4300T to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed by video and voice endpoints.
Optimizing the quality of your video and voice calls is easy, as the Polycom® V²IU 4300T routes video and voice traffic via the shortest path possible to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss. At the same time, bandwidth not in use by video or voice is made available, so that data traffic can burst up to its full line rate, maximizing WAN bandwidth. This also maximizes access link utilization while optimizing video and voice quality, using prioritization, traffic shaping, call admission control, and diffserv marking/policing.
For small and medium office connectivity, the Polycom® V²IU 4300T provides an Ethernet WAN port and q software-selectable, integrated T1 CSU/DSU or E1 interface. This allows you to use it either as your WAN access router, or install it behind an existing WAN access router.
Polycom V²IU™ 5300-E Series
Versatile networking and security solutions that offer scalable options for future needs
The Polycom® V²IU series enables reduced costs for your enterprise, by simplifying deployment, management and security of converged video, voice and data networks.This is the ideal solution for enterprises that need to enhance Inter-office connectivity and collaboration, or migrate from ISDN to IP-based network connectivity.
Many organizations achieve functions scalable for future needs by initially deploying the Polycom 5300-E series with a 10 Mbps performance license. When additional bandwidth is required, simply upgrade the 5300-E to a 25 Mbps license using a software license key, to avoid expensive hardware forklifts or replacements.
The Polycom® V²IU 5300-E is also a VoIP and video-aware solution, with NAT(Network Address Translation) and Firewall traversal issues resolved by performing video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary. This eliminates security risks posed by other traversal methods that 'tunnel' or obscure video and voice traffic at the existing perimeter.
The Polycom® V²IU 5300-E employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom® V²IU 5300-E to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed, by video and voice endpoints.
Optimizing the quality of your video and voice calls is easy, as the Polycom® V²IU 5300-E routes video and voice traffic via the shortest path possible, to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss.
At the same time, bandwidth not in use by video or voice is made available so that data traffic can burst up to its full line rate, maximizing WAN bandwidth. This traffic management, combined with video and voice call admission control, allows the administrator to effectively manage video and voice to deliver a high-quality networking experience.
Polycom V²IU™ 5300-S Series
Highly scalable solutions to enhance networking and security
The Polycom® V²IU 5300-S series is an easily deployed network appliance solution that provides greater scalability than other server-based software solutions. It helps reduce costs by simplifying the deployment, management, and security of converged video, voice, and data networks.
This is the ideal solution for service providers, because it protects critical IP communication components used in the delivery of hosted video or voice services. And it's also ideal for enterprises, because the Polycom® V²IU 5300-S eliminates the need to place H.323 gatekeepers and multipoint conference units on the public IP network for interoffice or partner collaboration.
A VoIP and video-aware solution, the Polycom® V²IU 5300-S series helps resolve NAT/firewall traversal issues by performing video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary, eliminating the security risks of other traversal methods that 'tunnel' or obscure video and voice traffic from existing perimeter security.
The Polycom® V²IU 5300-S employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom® V²IU 5300-S to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed by video and voice endpoints.
In addition, topology hiding protects H.323 gatekeepers and multipoint conference units from network-based attacks. Simply install the Polycom® V²IU 5300-S between your H.323 gatekeeper or multipoint conference units and the public IP network, to hide their real IP addresses and increase security.
To identify and authenticate video and voice devices as they register with the gatekeeper, the Polycom® V²IU 5300-S uses a dynamic access control list. This authentication mechanism eliminates the need to manually program IP addresses of valid devices in other firewalls around the perimeter of the data center.
The quality of your video and voice calls is optimized by routing video and voice traffic via the shortest path possible, to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss.
Polycom V²IU™ 6400-S Series
Networking and security solutions for enterprises and service providers
The Polycom® V²IU 6400-S series can reduce costs by simplifying the deployment, management and security of converged video, voice and data networks. NAT(Network Address Translation) and Firewall traversal issues are resolved by performing video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address boundary. This eliminates security risks posed by other traversal methods that 'tunnel' or obscure video and voice traffic at the existing perimeter.
The Polycom® V²IU 6400-S employs a stateful packet inspection firewall in combination with an application layer gateway, providing comprehensive application-aware security. This approach enables the Polycom® V²IU 6400-S to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP ports as needed by video and voice endpoints.
Topology hiding is utilized to protect H.323 gatekeepers and multipoint conference units from network-based attacks. Simply install the Polycom® V²IU 6400-S between your H.323 gatekeeper (or multipoint conference units) and the public IP network to hide their real IP addresses, and increase security.
Optimizing the quality of your video and voice calls is easy, as the Polycom® V²IU 6400-S routes video and voice traffic via the shortest path possible, to minimize jitter, latency, and packet loss.
