			IPFire is ready for running in companies. It powers many of them all around the world.
			Thousands of people accessing the Internet at the same time is not a problem if the
			hardware is powerful enough.
			Just as important as performance is reliability. If the firewall system fails, the
			entire company is disconnected from the Internet which hugely impacts work.
			Industrial components and great quality in all parts of the appliance is the first
			step to avoid downtimes caused by hardware failure which are usually very expensive.

				<p>
					Networks in each company need to be fast and transfer data at
					a high speed. Equally important is the ability to transfer this
					data with a very small latency. Active network adapters will
					take care of the data transfer whilst the IPFire system is
					focussing on its job which is only letting packets through
					which are permitted to pass the firewall.

				<p>
					The built-in <a href="/features#proxy">web proxy</a> of IPFire filters
					content in real-time. It can block malicious or inappropriate web pages.
					If that should be happening user-friendly this must be fast so that it
					is not noticeable.
					A fast processor and lots of system memory speed up processing the huge
					blacklists with the forbidden web sites.

					IPFire runs on the smallest systems. Power consumption is important but you still
					want to use all the features? A system based on a small x86 processor with a decent
					amount of memory is enough to power IPFire in your home for the family or office.
					One Ethernet port for the Internet connection, one for the local network, and a
					third wireless controller which makes IPFire to be used as a wireless access point
					as well. In this configuration, IPFire will provide excellent network connectivity
					to everywhere in your house or apartment so that you can use all of its features
					from anywhere with your computer, laptop, tablet, or phone.
