AccessGuard - Secure Transaction Routing and Transport
AccessGuard 1000 (AG1000) provides secure transaction routing and transport between IP-based Point Of Sale (POS) transaction systems and payment ecosystem authorization servers. NewNet’s future forward technology can be deployed in both virtualized, cloud based applications or via physical hardware. Products support high volume transactions from retail POS systems, mCommerce and eCommerce payments, SMS/USSD based payments, mobile wallets and other IP-based payment systems are securely encrypted and routed via the PCI validated AG1000.
The AG1000 offers secure transaction routing and transport via virtualized applications or physical environments NewNet’s products consolidate HTTPS & SSL transaction routing, SSL acceleration, and load balancing within a compact rack mounted footprint. Exceptional scalability and reliability are achieved while optimizing efficiency.
Key Benefits
- Upgrade Path: Interconnection for legacy payment ecosystem hosts with next generation IP POS terminals
- Enhanced Throughput: Hardware-based acceleration for public key encryption algorithms and SSL aggregation offloads host system processing.
- Transport Confidence: Security (SSL, TLS etc.), Transaction Protocol Processing (VISA I/II, ISO8583, TPDU, HTTPS transaction routing, etc.) and IP Routing (RIP, OSPF etc.) are consolidated. Also includes Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for key sizes of 192, 256 and 512 bits. Triple DES (3DES) is also supported.
- Reliability & Scalability: Redundancy and load balancing are provided via features that include support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and dynamic load balancing including options for round robin, pre-defined values, outstanding traffic or active load.
- Technology Progression Roadmap: Access Guard is architected to be deployed as a virtualized application or physical hardware device, which supports a road map to further forward technology.
- Management Insight: Detailed information includes processing resources, memory, interface status, and real-time traffic volume. Availability of host servers can also be monitored through either virtualized applications or physical hardware installations.
