Re: One computer two different networks

hello,

did you considered virualization, with vmware for example?
I didn't see yet an enterprise-wide deployment of this technique but
obvious steps would be 1. creating a system image containing the
Internet environment
2. Installing VM Player on each computer and setting a virtual network interface
3.Configuring a sub net for VMs that is different from physical
computer sub net. It allows a better control at the firewall/router
level.

That being said, this is certainly not a practical solution for
deployment or administration, but I'm not aware of specific products
that could do the job.

Hi all,

(First of all I want to apologise if I am misplacing this question, if so
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to the right direction)

So here is the situation:

We have about 250 computers that are isolated in a high-security network,
we want to give internet access to those computer users without
compromising the secured network...of course our first thought is to buy
250 computers so the users can switch between computers (one for the
secure network, one for internet)... but that might not be most practical
solution...

So, I've been looking around and I've found a product called DATAGATE,
from Tenix which works as a "Data Diode"... looks interesting... but I'd
like to have a second opinion...

Does anyone know about other products or techniques on how to accomplish
this??

thanks!
