Marbach Group Secures Global Network with Clavister Solutions
August 2016 by Marc Jacob
The Marbach Group, a leading large packaging materials manufacturer
headquartered in Germany, has deployed firewalls from Clavister, a leader in high
performance security solutions, to secure its global IT network.
Working with its German IT consultancy and system integrator Stainczyk & Partners,
Marbach has deployed Clavister firewalls in High Availability (HA) clusters,
implementing two highly scalable appliances in a multistage installation at every
Marbach site.
The Clavister solution was selected as it delivers robust, high performance and
scalable security, enabling Marbach to respond to its changing requirements
according to the company’s needs. The solution can expand to meet the company’s
growth and is capable of securely delivering 14 x 1GbE Ethernet interfaces. In
addition, the IT tem can manage the entire firewall estate via the central
management platform Clavister InControl.
"In addition to the good price-performance ratio and the easy management of the
Clavister appliances we were impressed by the wide range of update options," said
Gregory Dunica, Head of IT Marbach. "The Clavister solution offers excellent
scalability via the Software Subscription which enables us to utilise additional
product license updates to meet any future performance increases we require. This
enables us to multiply the VPN, IPSec or plaintext throughput without additional
investment. We have been very impressed by the expertise and support that we have
received from both Stainczyk & Partners and Clavister in providing technical
assistance."
Jim Carlsson, Clavister CEO, commented: "The German market is critical to our growth
plans and we are delighted that we are establishing our credentials in Germany with
deployments such as Marbach. It is a testament to the quality of our solutions that
the Marbach Group has deployed them to secure their global IT network. As
cyber-criminals increasingly target the data that businesses hold, robust, scalable,
high performance, high availability security solutions will be key to ensuring that
the integrity of networks is maintained."
The Marbach Group was founded in 1923 and is headquartered in Heilbronn, operating
internationally with 1,300 employees worldwide. In addition to tools for packaging
production and equipment and materials for production support it produces tools for
a wide range of services.
Clavister’s solutions range from entry level next-generation firewalls (NGFW) in
desktop-sized packages, to Virtual Series Gateways that enable the highest levels of
throughput, offering six nines (99.9999%) availability for carrier-grade security in
the most demanding network environments.
