XGS Series Next-Gen Firewall Appliances

Enterprise Edge: 2U Models

Distributed and growing enterprises in need of maximum throughput for even the most complex network get the ultimate in protection, performance, and business continuity with these next-gen firewalls. The new Xstream Flow Processors provide dedicated hardware acceleration to easily handle full-on protection for today’s encrypted, cloud-hosted applications and traffic. These models strike the perfect balance between port density and modularity, with a range of high-speed, built-in ports, plus additional high-density Flexi port modules available to extend connectivity even further.

All models are powered by a high-speed CPU plus a dedicated Xstream Flow Processor for hardware acceleration.

Performance Test Methodology

General Maximum throughput measured under ideal test conditions using industry standard Keysight-Ixia BreakingPoint test tools. Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and activated services.
Firewall Measured using HTTP traffic and 512 KB response size
Firewall IMIX UDP throughput based on a combination of 66 byte, 570 byte and 1518 byte packet sizes
IPS Measured with IPS with HTTP traffic using default IPS ruleset and 512 KB object size.
IPsec VPN HTTP throughput using multiple tunnels and 512 KB HTTP response size
TLS inspection Performance measured with IPS with HTTPS sessions and different cipher suites.
Threat Protection Measured with Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and malware prevention enabled using HTTP 200 KB response size

Flexi Port Modules

For all XGS 2U models

Our 2U models come with two standard Flexi Port expansion bays plus one or two bays for high-density modules to flexibly add to the diverse range of built-in interfaces on every box. Changes in your environment, your workforce, or your edge infrastructure may require additional fiber ports or a change in your connectivity. With Flexi Port modules, you have a cost-effective way to adapt your appliance, rather than having to purchase new hardware mid-term.

Transceivers

A list of compatible third-party transceivers can be found in our knowledge base article.

Redundancy

All of our 2U appliances come equipped with hot-swappable components to ensure maximum uptime:

  • Dual SSDs
  • Dual Power supplies

Rackmount Kits

All 2U rackmount appliances are supplied with rackmount sliding rails.
