leading provider of network firewall solutions, today announced an upgrade of
its X-Series data

that span physical, virtual, and cloud, in light of the vibrant data center

non-disruptively scale through easy module expansions.

Highlights of the solution offering include:

·      High performance at
680Gbps, based on a fully distributed architecture

number of concurrent sessions (240M) and new sessions/sec (4.8M)

·      Comprehensive attack
protection

·      Carrier-grade high
reliability and availability

·      Advanced virtual
system (vSYS) technology for multi-tenant solutions

large network bandwidth that meets their budget requirements. With the upgrade,
our customers can now have peace of mind that their business networks are
secure and meet their business needs,” said Francis Teo, South East Asia
