Aladdin eSafe Appliance
Unfortunately we received the Aladdin eSafe Gateway after we had completed testingââ,¬"it was actually delivered a couple of days before we left for our Christmas break. We did, however, have a chance to give it a very quick once over.
The appliance is actually a PC crammed into a tiny 22 x 24 x 5cm stackable case. The unit is powered by a Celeron 733 with 512MB of RAM, a 2.5in 10GB hard drive loaded with Linux; the AC power supply is a large external -brick".
The rear has connectors for keyboard, mouse, monitor, parallel port and two Com ports as well as a single 10/100 LAN port.
The unit can be configured to automatically update virus/vandal signatures, restricted lists, and URL filters.
