Product Overview

The modern network is diverse, resulting in a wide variety of throughput, connectivity, and security requirements within a single organization. Data center constraints on space, power, and cooling just add to your challenges of finding the right network security device. The Cisco FirePOWER™ 7000 Series solves these challenges by providing leading threat protection appliances with scalability, energy efficiency, and a low total cost of ownership. The Cisco FirePOWER 7000 Series Appliances are the base platform for the Cisco FirePOWER next-generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) threat protection solution. They integrate real-time contextual awareness, full-stack visibility, and intelligent security automation to deliver effective security, reliable performance, and a lower cost of ownership. Threat protection can be expanded with optional subscription licenses to provide Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) and application visibility and control.

Optimized for network security processing, FirePOWER delivers breakthrough performance with purpose-built hardware acceleration technology and by using three separate data processing stages, each custom designed for particular workloads. With eight throughput models (from 50 Mbps to 1.25 Gbps) and up to 12 available ports to support mixed media, the Cisco FirePOWER 7000 Series enables you to deploy security appliances based on network link and organizational use case requirements.

Mixed-Media Support Through Small Form-Factor Pluggable Technology
