Threat Prevention throughput is 40 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled (55 Gbps firewall inspection), and it holds up to 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections. This part number bundles the appliance with TotalSecure Advanced Edition for 1 year (12 months). It is used at a campus or main-office internet edge, in the DMZ and between user and server segments.
Best For
The NSa 6800 suits a campus or main-office internet edge that needs 40 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and up to 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections. It suits buyers who want TotalSecure Advanced Edition for 1 year activated with the hardware. Size against the Threat Prevention figure, not the firewall inspection throughput.
Not suitable if:
- your inspected traffic exceeds 40 Gbps, the published Threat Prevention throughput
