  12                         IPFire is a dedicated firewall which needs its own hardware to run on.
  13                         On this page we will recommend some ready-to-go solutions especially
  14                         designed for IPFire. Get one and get started with IPFire right away
  15                         or take this as an inspiration for your own individual system.

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

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

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