Complete Security
Mako 6500 appliances employ a range of industry-leading security technologies, such as a stateful inspection firewall, port scanning protection, worm detection, AES 128-bit encryption for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and support for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) remote network access.
PCI DSS Certification
Any business that processes, stores or transmits credit card data must meet security requirements set up by the credit card companies to help reduce fraud, known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
The Mako 6500-A2 is specially built with the PCI DSS in mind, allowing businesses to quickly and easily lock down computer and payment networks.
Mako Networks was the first company in the world to hold a Level 1 PCI DSS certification for network management, the highest level of certification available.
3G Failover
As an additional connection option, the Mako 6500-A2 is available with a 3G wireless connection, capable of being used as a ‘failover’ option in case the primary ADSL connection goes down. The Mako 6500-A2/3G will automatically switch over to use mobile data if the ADSL connection drops, offering businesses continuity in the case of network interruptions.
In areas where ADSL is not available, or in remote locations, 3G can also be set as the primary connection method.
Easy to Deploy
Like all Mako appliances, the 6500-A2 automatically receives configuration information from the Mako Central Management System (CMS) via the cloud, so there’s little to set up besides plugging in power and network cables.
Easy Setup Virtual Private Networks
External networks connected by Mako appliances can be linked to the Mako 6500-A2 in seconds by three easy mouse clicks in the CMS, without requiring static IP addresses. Each 6500-A2 can simultaneously link up to 20 external VPNs. The Mako 6500-A2 can also connect to third-party equipment and firewalls.
Centralized Logging/Reporting
Mako 6500-A2 appliances securely send traffic information back to the CMS every few minutes. This data is used to generate easy-to-understand graphical reports about network usage, including data use by site, user and timeframe, real- time reporting of intrusion attempts, and records of Internet traffic. Based on this information, the CMS can also send proactive alerts regarding data usage, device temperature, worm detection, and more.
Integrated Router
Mako 6500-A2 units incorporate a fully featured ADSL router to provide access to the Internet at speeds up to 25Mb per second.
Simple Troubleshooting
A color-coded LED panel on the Mako 6500 provides Internet and network connection information at a glance. For non- technical users, this makes it easy to quickly diagnose network issues. When technical support is needed, helpdesk technicians use the CMS to view and control appliance status, connections and configuration, making it easy to troubleshoot and resolve issues without the need for site visits.
