The Amaranten F Series is designed for users who need supreme security technology on their own choice of
hardware. Reasons for choosing a software solution can range from specific functional requirements,

platform design or simply because you have a spare hardware.

Most important, as a Amaranten customer, you have all the functionality you need from your specific
security solution. That's why we give you the freedom of choice.

Installing your solution from the Amaranten F Series is simple. After all, we were the first to offer the
possibility to deploy a complete firewall on a bare-bone PC in a matter of minutes. All without struggling with
operating systems, service packs or incompatible drivers. All Amaranten products have had this functionality
since 1998.

Now, we have refined the methodology. The new Amaranten F Series makes installation and deployment
easier and faster than ever.

Products that grow with your needs

To suit market needs, we have segmented your products within the Amaranten F Series. Orientation and
choice based on functional needs are therefore simplified. Without compromising on customization we offer a
number of standard configurations. The differences between the models are performance and functionality,
similar to the different products in the appliance series. Moreover, if your requirements change, you can easily
upgrade your product license to increase capacity and functionality.
