Overview


Built on the latest state-of-the-art multicore CPU platform and with advanced hardware acceleration, the HP Firewall Series enables advanced scalable network protection from the network core to the network edge with firewall throughput at up to 40 Gbps. The series also features rich VPN abilities, including GRE, L2TP, and IPSec tunneling technologies, which makes it ideal for building VPN gateways. The appliances combine built-in protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, hacking attacks, zonal and virtual stateful packet inspection firewalls, application bandwidth management, audio/video IP multicast routing, and email attachment filtering. The series includes all the advanced security capabilities found in the unified software platform of HP switches and routers that deliver easy integration, simple management, and network deployment infrastructure, lowering a network's total cost of ownership.
