Cisco Firepower 2100 Series – FPR-2140

 

Cisco Firepower 2100 Series appliances

The Cisco Firepower 2100 Series is a family of four threat-focused security platforms that deliver business resiliency and superior threat defense. They offers exceptional sustained performance when advanced threat functions are enabled. These platforms uniquely incorporate an innovative dual multicore CPU architecture that optimizes firewall, cryptographic, and threat inspection functions. The series’ firewall throughput range addresses use cases from the Internet edge to the data center. Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS)- compliance is supported by the Cisco Firepower 2130 platform. 2100 Series platforms run either the Cisco Secure Firewall ASA or Threat Defense (FMC) software. They can be deployed in both firewall and dedicated IPS modes.
