Contract # GS00T01AHD0002 

Proposal to Add Federal Telecommunications Service   Long Distance (FTS LD) 

6.7.5.1.4 Redundant 

High Availability (HA) Firewall Configuration with 

Load Balancing 

Redundant HA Firewall Configuration with Load Balancing is a truly fault tolerant 

firewall configuration. Firewall redundancy and load balancing is accomplished 

through the use of four (4) load balancing switches and up to eight (8) firewalls. 

The solution is designed for Nokia 330, Nokia 440 and Nokia 650 servers, to address 

the firewall software license issues and overall throughput. The service is available 

for dual Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet handoffs with the maximum 

throughput exceeding 1 Gbps. 

The service fees for Redundant HA Firewall Configuration with Load Balancing 

include all hardware and software components.  

6.7.5.1.5 

High Performance Redundant High Availability (HA) Firewall 

Configuration with Load Balancing 

High Performance Redundant HA Firewall Configuration with Load Balancing is 

designed to provide the ultimate performance and uptime. It is ideal for solutions 

requiring high throughput and maximum scalability. Through the use of redundant 

switches, the design is scalable to sixteen (16) firewalls. 

Recommended entry point of this solution is bandwidth requirement of 500 Mbps 

Committed Information Rate. Therefore, the basic system design includes eight (8) 

Foundry switches and five (5) Nokia servers. 

The solution is available for Nokia 440 and Nokia 650 servers, to address the firewall 

software license issues and overall throughput. The service is available for dual 

Gigabit Ethernet handoffs with the maximum throughput of 3.5 Gbps.
