Fireware 10
Security, Accomplished.
Fireware®
Pro is our advanced appliance software for more complex networks,
helping to ensure that your business remains connected. Fireware
Pro comes bundled with all Firebox X Peak e-Series appliances,
and is available as an upgrade for the Firebox X Core e-Series.
Key Benefits:
- Multi-WAN Load Balancing - Distributes and load-balances outgoing traffic across multiple ISPs for greater network efficiency.
- Traffic Shaping - Ensures business-critical applications get the bandwidth they need.
- High Availability (Active/Passive) - Offers hardware redundancy to a standby appliance, plus WAN and VPN failover.
- VLAN - Creates logical rather than physical network configurations that reduce hardware requirements, increase control over multiple traffic types, provide richer interoperability, and make it easy to create subnets.
- Dynamic Routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP v1, v2) - Maximizes network flexibility, redundancy, and efficiency by dynamically updating routing tables.
- Policy-based Routing - Allows you to specify outgoing interface per service to enhance network bandwidth management and reduce costs.
- Server Load Balancing – Makes it easy to protect public-facing e-commerce "server farms"
