The Hardware
Two convenient form factors with models to meet the most demanding requirements.
Advanced Threat Detection and Protection
The Hillstone A-Series NGFW includes a full arsenal of mechanisms to provide real-time detection and protection across a spectrum of network attacks and malwares. The A-Series incorporates anti-spam,cloud sandbox and botnet C&C protection, in addition to IPS, IP reputation, URL filtering, anti-virus, etc. This next generation firewall’s unified threat detection and analytics engine coordinates across all security mechanisms to dramatically enhance efficiency while reducing network latency.
High-Performance Hardware Architecture
The future-ready A-Series features compact form factor and a powerful computing foundation that ensures excellent application layer performance in meeting the real-world network security needs. A-Series NGFWs offer robust performance for firewall throughput, concurrent and new sessions, and blazing fast performance for application layer, which is critical in meeting the needs of current security environments. It also offers a friendly software ecology for third-party integration to support additional security features if desired. All rackmount models feature front and rear ventilation to assist in heat dissipation, which is a concern in networks of almost any size.
Excellent Access Capability and Storage Expansion
The Hillstone A-Series offers high I/O port density, allowing the NGFW to act as a switch or router as needed, lowering deployment and management costs. Expansion slots are available for a number of A-Series models to further increase performance. Bypass pairs on most A-Series models help ensure business continuity. All models, including the desktop versions, include a large 8 GB onboard storage and have an expansion option for vast hard disk storage up to 2 TB, providing longer log storage time, deeper analysis, richer reports and better visibility.
Smart and Efficient Policy Operation
The A-Series includes intelligent management and operation across the full policy lifecycle, from deployment to management, optimization and operation. This next generation firewall system features automated user policy deployment using RADIUS dynamic authorization. Policy management is made far more efficient through policy groupings based on business requirements. In addition, policies can be aggregated to allow a set of policies to act as a single policy. An innovative policy assistant analyzes traffic patterns and recommends refined policies for faster, easier and more accurate policy management. Policy operation is made more efficient and precise through policy redundancy checks, which identify redundant policies for deactivation or deletion, and policy hit count analysis, that helps further refine and adjust policies.
