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.
