INTRODUCTION
Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 provides controlled and secure access between networks. It also serves as a Web-caching proxy that provides fast Web response and offload capabilities.

ISA Server 2004 has a multiple-layered architecture and an advanced policy engine that provide precise control to manage the level of security and resources that the network requires.

As an edge server that connects many networks, ISA Server typically handles more traffic than other servers in an organization and is built for high performance.
