Applied Innovations Virtual Firewall is a managed network security service designed to protect hosted servers and business infrastructure. The service is built on the Fortinet platform and provides stateful firewall capabilities with 1Gbps throughput. The product offers two deployment options: a standard self-managed configuration and a fully managed configuration where Applied Innovations handles firewall administration. Both options include access to a web-based management interface and SSH management capabilities, along with a reporting interface for monitoring and analysis. The virtual firewall service is positioned as an additional security layer beyond the standard Windows software-based firewall included with Applied Innovations hosting plans. It is part of their 7-Point Security Solution offering. The managed service includes 24x7 technical support from Applied Innovations engineers, with all configuration changes monitored and tracked. The company offers a 100% uptime SLA for the firewall service. Customers can define security policies in collaboration with the Applied Innovations team, and the service provides flexibility to scale and upgrade firewall configurations as business needs evolve. The firewall is delivered as a virtual appliance integrated with Applied Innovations hosting infrastructure, providing protection against unauthorized access, viruses, and hacker attempts targeting hosted servers and applications.
