Question #838
Is Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 a firewall or a cache server?
Answer
ISA Server can be configured as an integrated firewall and caching solution or can be deployed as a locked-down firewall or dedicated cache. Organizations looking for a robust firewall solution can secure their networks with ISA Server dynamic packet filtering, intrusion detection, system hardening, and “smart” application filters. Organizations looking for a dedicated cache solution can use ISA Server to enhance a network with advanced caching.
