Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide

"While Nokia is perhaps most recognized for its leadership in the mobile phone market, they have successfully demonstrated their knowledge of the Internet security appliance market and its customers requirements."
--Chris Christiansen, Vice President, Internet Infrastructure and Security Software, IDC.

Syngress has a long history of publishing market-leading books for system administrators and security professionals on commercial security products, particularly Firewall and Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliances from Cisco, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall, and Nokia (see related titles for sales histories). The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide will be the only book on the market covering the all-new Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliance suite. Nokia Firewall/VPN appliances are designed to protect and extend the network perimeter.

According to IDC research, Nokia Firewall/VPN Appliances hold the #3 worldwide market-share position in this space behind Cisco and Juniper/NetScreen. IDC estimated the total Firewall/VPN market at $6 billion in 2007, and Nokia owns 6.6% of this market. Nokia's primary customers for security appliances are Mid-size to Large enterprises who need site-to-site connectivity and Mid-size to Large enterprises who need remote access connectivity through enterprise-deployed mobile devices. Nokia appliances for this market are priced form $1,000 for the simplest devices (Nokia IP60) up to $60,0000 for large enterprise- and service-provider class devices (like the Nokia IP2450 released in Q4 2007). While the feature set of such a broad product range obviously varies greatly, all of the appliances run on the same operating system: Nokia IPSO (IPSO refers to Ipsilon Networks, a company specializing in IP switching acquired by Nokia in 1997. The definition of the acronym has little to no meaning for customers.) As a result of this common operating system across the product line, The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide will be an essential reference to users of any of these products. Users manage the Nokia IPSO (which is a Linux variant, specifically designed for these appliances) through a Web interface called Nokia Network Voyager or via a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI). Coverage within the book becomes increasingly complex relative to the product line.

The Nokia Firewall, VPN, and IPSO Configuration Guide and companion Web site will provide seasoned network administrators and security professionals with the in-depth coverage and step-by-step walkthroughs they require to properly secure their network perimeters and ensure safe connectivity for remote users. The book contains special chapters devoted to mastering the complex Nokia IPSO command line, as well as tips and tricks for taking advantage of the new "ease of use" features in the Nokia Network Voyager Web interface. In addition, the companion Web site offers downloadable video walkthroughs on various installation and troubleshooting tips from the authors.

"儘管諾基亞在手機市場上的領導地位最為人所知，但他們成功展示了他們對於網際網路安全設備市場及其客戶需求的了解。" - Chris Christiansen, IDC網際網路基礎設施和安全軟體副總裁。

Syngress出版社長期以來一直在系統管理員和安全專業人士的市場上出版領先的書籍，尤其是關於Cisco、Check Point、Juniper、SonicWall和諾基亞等商業安全產品的防火牆和虛擬私人網路（VPN）設備（請參閱相關書籍的銷售歷史）。《諾基亞防火牆、VPN和IPSO配置指南》將是市場上唯一一本涵蓋全新諾基亞防火牆/VPN設備套件的書籍。諾基亞防火牆/VPN設備旨在保護和擴展網絡邊界。

根據IDC的研究，諾基亞防火牆/VPN設備在全球市場上排名第三，僅次於Cisco和Juniper/NetScreen。IDC估計2007年全球防火牆/VPN市場規模為60億美元，而諾基亞在該市場占有6.6%的份額。諾基亞安全設備的主要客戶是需要站點到站點連接和需要通過企業部署的移動設備進行遠程訪問連接的中型到大型企業。諾基亞針對這個市場的設備價格從最簡單的設備（如諾基亞IP60，價格為1,000美元）到大型企業和服務提供商級別的設備（如2007年第四季度推出的諾基亞IP2450，價格高達60,000美元）。儘管這個廣泛的產品範圍的功能集明顯有所不同，但所有設備都運行在相同的操作系統上：諾基亞IPSO（IPSO指的是Ipsilon Networks，這是一家專門從事IP切換的公司，於1997年被諾基亞收購。該縮寫對於客戶來說幾乎沒有意義）。由於產品線上都使用相同的操作系統，因此《諾基亞防火牆、VPN和IPSO配置指南》將成為任何這些產品的用戶的重要參考資料。用戶可以通過名為諾基亞網絡航海者（Nokia Network Voyager）的Web界面或強大的命令行界面（CLI）來管理諾基亞IPSO（這是一個針對這些設備特別設計的Linux變體）。書中的內容根據產品線的複雜程度逐漸變得更加複雜。

《諾基亞防火牆、VPN和IPSO配置指南》和配套網站將為經驗豐富的網絡管理員和安全專業人士提供深入的覆蓋範圍和逐步操作指南，以確保他們的網絡邊界得到適當的安全保護，並確保遠程用戶的安全連接。該書包含特別章節，專門介紹如何掌握複雜的諾基亞IPSO命令行，以及如何充分利用諾基亞網絡航海者Web界面中的新的“易用性”功能的技巧和訣竅。此外，配套網站還提供作者提供的各種安裝和故障排除技巧的可下載視頻操作指南。
