IP Infusion announced that Handreamnet, a leading network security solutions provider, has selected ZebOS network platform software to expand its portfolio of industry leading switches. Handreamnet is currently leveraging the core technology platform from IP Infusion across multiple product lines, enabling high performance switching and enhanced security via a stable network platform.

Handreamnet currently offers more than 30 security switch products and has been first to market with a number of its L2 and L3 security switches providing optimized network security solutions. The recently announced ZebOS-based SG2124GX 10G security switch is a high performance switch that supports a 10G port with 30W power per port and USB firmware upgrade options. These products also support both IPv4 and IPv6 making them ideally suited to take advantage of the industry transition from IP4 to IPv6. The ZebOS platform enabled Handreamnet to eliminate the network bottleneck to its cloud environment, allowing for additional cost saving for its network infrastructure operations. Handreamnet is currently building upon its success in the Japanese market and growing its sales operations in the Chinese market with its technically-proven security switching technology.

"Handreamnet has developed and shipped network security equipment with powerful functions based on ZebOS, enabling us to provide exact solutions for customers' needs," said Mr. Oh, Hong-Seok, CEO of Handreamnet. "We believe that Handreamnet will lead the L2/L3 security switch market through our solid cooperation with IP Infusion."

"The future of IP networking is software that enables accelerated time to market and continual product enhancement," said Sean Jo, Country Manager of IP Infusion Korea Ltd. "Handreamnet selected an essential network platform, ZebOS, which is providing solutions and software tailored for the special requirements of global network manufacturers and telecommunications service providers. Since acquiring ZebOS from IP Infusion last October in 2011, the team was able to deliver its new secure switch in a very short timeframe. ZebOS is reliable and market proven for more than a decade, and provides Handreamnet with an enhanced platform to deliver feature rich 10G security switches that will expand market share in Korea as well as the global markets."
