Analyst Perspectives

"Services gateways can provide significant advantages in both enabling and securing VoIP connectivity in remote and branch office environments.
Specifically, services gateways can wrap the required level of security around IP voice sessions without degrading performance. Additionally, IT management can limit the added complexity within the branch network."

"To provide an effective platform for branch office information systems the whole platform has to be designed for a management subsystem. It must have reliable access to I/O busses and device control logic even if the core OS is tied in knots."

"services gateway isn't a router or firewall with features added on. It's a purpose-built device designed from the ground up to do all these functions, and more, while optimizing the productivity of IT staff responsible for enterprise remote offices."

"The Business Services Gateway will be a modular, standards-based device offering high-availability, a wide variety of service modules, and integrated system management. NetDevices is the first vendor to come onto the market with a true services gateway."

"NetDevices Inc.'s SG-8 Unified Services Gateway (USG) is not only a "business gateway" device; it's defining the category."

"The USG fits the definition of a business gateway better than any product on the market. I believe it constitutes a new product segment."

"Services or Business Gateways are designed to solve the problems plaguing network managers today, such as manageability, scalability and reliability that are caused by deploying multiple devices at the network edge for different edge applications. However, organizations investing in Services Gateways need to ensure that it has the capability of working and delivering management access to other services even if one service goes down."
