As organisations migrate from Internet VPN infrastructures to Private networks it is increasingly popular to place the Internet firewall right at the heart of the network and locate it at one of our Points of Presence.

Clearstream offer a firewall hosting service based on either the customer firewall or form our range of cost effective, high performance, Managed SonicWALL devices.

WIth a hosted firewall we provide either a dedicated or shared firewall device (depending on cost and configuration complexity) in our managed rackspace in our Midlands or London Hosting Centres. The POP location forms a secure leg of your network with up to 10Gigabits of Internet bandwidth.

Managed firewalls are available from the full SonicWALL range from wire-speed, Gigabit throughput, firewalls with full UTM functionality to small low cost devices for smaller networks. Locating your firewall next to the Internet has a range of performance and other benefits.
