XGS Series Next-Gen Firewall Appliances
Enterprise and Campus Edge: 2U Models

Distributed and growing enterprises in need of maximum throughput for the most complex networks get the ultimate in protection, performance, and business continuity with these next-gen firewalls. 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.

 

  • Engineered for no-compromise performance
  • Dual-processor architecture with dedicated co-processor for enterprise-grade hardware acceleration
  • High-performance Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSDs for better compatibility and storage (XGS 7500/8500 only)
  • Sufficient headroom to power all key threat protection features, such as TLS inspection, sandboxing, and AI-driven threat analysis
  • Extremely competitive ROI per protected Mbps
  • A range of standard 1 GE copper interfaces plus 8 to 12 SFP+ 10 GE fiber interfaces on every model
  • QSFP28 interfaces on high-end models with port speeds of up to 40 Gbps (XGS 7500) and 100 Gbps (XGS 8500)
  • Maximum port density of 48 (XGS 5500), 68 (XGS 6500), or 70 (XGS 7500/8500) using optional modules
  • Redundancy features on all models to help ensure business continuity
