Cisco ASA 5585-X - The most powerful security device available today

Cisco has launched a multi-function enterprise security device - Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 5585-X (ASA 5585-X) with the most powerful firewall throughput in the market combined with a VPN-enabled firewall and system IPS intrusion prevention (Intrusion-Prevention System).

Today the trend of developing new technologies is gradually approaching virtualization and cloud computing. Therefore, the built devices are required to have open architecture, users can access with many different devices in different geographical locations.

With firewall throughput from 4 Gbps to 35 Gbps, Cisco ASA 5585-X is designed specifically for Data centers in businesses, large corporations or service providers. The device comes with a 2-slot chassis, with individual slots for IPS Blade (translated as IPS). The device has a multi-functional VPN firewall, capable of supporting up to 10,000 VPN connections and 350,000 new connections per second.

Flexible modular design

The Cisco ASA 5585-X consists of a main body and has two slots that can plug in the Firewall and VPN modules called Security Service Processors, optional modules and IPS (Intrusion-Prevention System) modules. With firewall modules, there are 4 types of support with Firewall throughput from 4 Gbps to 40 Gbps depending on the needs and scale of the system that we can choose.

Capable of supporting IPS Throughput up to 10 Gbps and supporting up to 10,000 users connecting to the VPN, Cisco ASA 5585-X is the most powerful security device on the market. Thanks to the design of plug-and-play modules, businesses can completely replace these modules when the system gets bigger. In addition, Cisco ASA 5585-X supports 2 AC sources, supporting 10G optical fiber connections to ensure sufficient bandwidth for a large system.

Diverse support features

Cisco has just released software running on the firewall that supports version 8.4. With this new version, the firewall supports 10Gbps connections and Ethernet Channel technology. Supporting 64-bit processors increases bandwidth, increasing the number of connections up to 10 million, which is a challenging number for Cisco to any security device maker in the world.

Support for 802.1AE MACSec will help provide end-to-end access to an access layer switch. AnyConnect Client is designed to provide always-on support, which also works with Cisco's ScanSafe service to enforce web security policies.

AnyConnect 3.0 is now available for devices like Windows Mobile, Apple iPhone and will support iPad and Android in the future. Cisco says more than a third of Cisco's traditional VPN Client users, about 150 million people have switched to AnyConnect.

With its "borderless network" slogan, Cisco is further promoting connectivity and security for handheld devices. In Vietnam, businesses can install this security system through Cisco distributor FPT Distribution. The team of professional technical consultants and many years of experience from FPT Distribution will bring absolute peace of mind to network security of businesses.
