SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Hillstone Networks, a leading provider of network firewall solutions, today announced an upgrade of its X-Series data center firewall solution to complement a broad portfolio of security solutions that span physical, virtual, and cloud. The upgrade to the solution delivers 2X performance in the same small form factor, with improved link-load balance capabilities; making it an ideal solution for high-speed service providers, large enterprises and carrier networks, as well as government and financial institutions.

Customers can protect their initial investment and non-disruptively scale through easy module expansions.

Highlights of the solution offering include:

  • High performance at 680Gbps, based on a fully distributed architecture
  • 2X improvement in the 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
  • Lower energy consumption for reduced operational costs

“The Hillstone X-Series is a breakthrough technology for today’s data centers that require a robust network security solution with 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 Lingling Zhang, VP of Products at Hillstone.
