At the WISPA Regional Meeting 2010 in St. Louis on July 22nd and 23rd, ImageStream introduced their new Samurai Express router which features redundant power supplies, 2 PCI, 1 PCIEx16, 1PCIEx4 slots, locking access door, two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with a quad core CPU.

After talking with JC Utter, ImageStream's CEO, I was very impressed with what this monster of a router could handle.  He says the Samurai Express is ImageStream's lowest cost router for applications requiring redundant power including high-speed multi-homed netowrks, DSL aggregation and a wide range of other midrange routing applications.  This router works where most Cisco 2800, 3800 and 7200 routers are used.

The sleak design really got my attention and the industrial feel of the unit gave me the sense that this is top quality hardware.

Many of the new router features leverage popular Open Source software. For example, the new version of ImageStream Linux includes Asterisk, the most widely deployed VoIP gateway and SoftPBX software in the world. Additional Open Source packages include Snort for intrusion detection, Wireshark for VoIP capture and analysis, and Squid for Web caching. Squid is also being used to support highly granular Web filtering in conjunction with Netsweeper, ImageStream's latest technology partner that specializes in Web site classification and filtering.

The new Web management system is another powerful feature that many network managers have requested. The Web management system will include a wide range of advanced features including the ability to save and load configs to and from the local PC, buffered interface statistics with powerful real-time graphing, and an easy-to-use system for managing network interfaces, firewall, QoS, VPNs, dynamic routing, and more.
