Korea's Dacom Selects Quarry's Router for MPLS VPN

Dacom, one of South Korea's leading service providers, has selected Quarry Technologies' iQ Security Service Routers to provide security services to its MPLS VPN customers. Quarry Technologies' iQ8000 Security Service Routers will be distributed throughout South Korea, around the edge of Dacom's MPLS backbone network. Support for VPN technologies, including IPsec and RFC-2547 Layer 3 MPLS VPNs, will ensure integration of the iQ8000 into the network infrastructure. Quarry's Security Service Routers will terminate access-network connections, identify subscribers and classify traffic flows. Additionally, security and traffic management processes will be applied at both the ingress and egress of Dacom's network to assure the highest levels of protection. Stateful firewall filtering, intrusion detection, traffic policing, Denial of Service (DoS) prevention, Network Address Translation (NAT), virtual routing, VPN tunneling, encryption, traffic shaping, and other services will all be provided, as needed, on a per-subscriber basis. Financial terms were not disclosed.
