The TM1100's innovative feature set offer a compelling integrated solution with high performance and optional fault tolerance.

	Fault Tolerant with Hot Swap Components The TM1100 offers 24x7 operation by pairing two units in an active/active configuration.  Paired units are treated by the management interface as a single TMI appliance. The workload of a failed or removed unit automatically migrates to its sibling. Replace the failed unit and the TM1100 pair will compensate again, automatically. The TM1100 uses the distributed technology pioneered in the TM1000 to offer an active/active configuration superior standby approaches which can mask failures or misconfigurations in the standby gear until they are needed most.
	Load Balancing Make full use of idle backup links. The TM1100's distributed technology balances traffic across all active network links and automatically compensates for link failures and link restorations.
	Virtual Private Networking Use public networks like the Internet to cost effectively connect offices using secure and standards compliant VPN technologies. Easily combine load balancing with VPN to maintain secure connectivity even if a link fails.  Industry standard VPN supports secure office to office and individual remote PC connections.
	Quality of Service The TM1100's QoS facilities prioritizes traffic based on rules you define. By guaranteeing bandwidth to important applications and limiting bandwidth for low-priority uses, you can simultaneously maximize internetwork performance and reduce bandwidth requirements.
	Dynamic Stateful Firewall The TM1100 contains an advanced, high performance, stateful firewall. System services automatically add their own low-level rules, minimizing security misconfigurations. Administrators add high-level rules as any combination of IP addresses, application definitions, interfaces, users (for on-demand VPN connections), and user groups. The TM1100's distributed technology maximizes security by only activating those rules that are relevant for the current system state.
	Active Object Technology Administrators create service objects defining internetwork behavior. Objects then interact as events occur. For example, changing an external IP address may affect routes, VPNs, QoS and firewall rules. A TM1100 administrator simply changes the IP address of the remote host object. Dependent objects see the change and automatically perform their own reconfigurations.
	Other services and features of the TM1000 SNAT, DNAT, DNS per-domain forwarding and caching, IPSEC, PPTP, CIPE, Ethernet 10/100/1000, T-1, DS-3, connection rate limiting, remote syslog logging, SSL-based web interface, NTP client, rdate server, dhcp server, dhcp client, interface redundancy, IPV4 routing, route interrogation, firmware updates, configuration backup, NetFlow agent.
