US-based Intoto Inc, a network security focussed company with its wholly owned subsidiary based at Hyderabad, is working towards the development of a network gateway solution for multi-gigabit networks. "We are working towards the development of a solution for the network gateway and it is likely to be ready by the end of next month," said SN Murthy, President and COO, Intoto Software Pvt Ltd.
The new solution to be developed exclusively at its development center in Hyderabad will be targeted towards the next-generation metropolitan optical networks for the US as well as south East Asian markets. "Embedded security has become a requirement in high-performance gateway equipment for communications networks, including enterprise VPN and firewall applications, access routers, multi-service switch gateway equipment, IP and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) routers. IPSec is the dominant Internet security protocol in these applications. We would be providing the solution to the network OEMs and processor vendors," he added.
The company's subsidiary at Hyderabad is in a process to change its focus towards the Asia pacific region. "The company used to handle its sales from the sub continent as of now but after the month of April sales operations are going to be centralized from US only. It is much more viable for the company to have centralized marketing operations as we are going to focus more towards the development part rather than the selling part," he explained.
Come April and the Hyderabad center is going to align itself as a purely development center, slowly moving itself from a reseller to a partnering entity. Development will concentrate on getting the different versions of VPN firewalls, network intrusion detection system and a central management system. "We are looking for having tie-ups with System on Chip (SoC) companies who are in a position to bundle our solutions into their boxes. We are also working on Microsoft standard's Universal plug-n-play platform which, would help download low end devices from central sites," he added.
