Hi All,
I guess you could say we are a little late to the party with this one but things have been quite hectic! Im sure some people will not have seen that Cisco have added a new top of the range Firewall to their lineup.
This thing has a monumental 12Gb of ram installed and is capable of a maximum throughput of 20Gbps!
This move has obviously been made to compete with Checkpoint who have several third party appliances available that can achieve massive throughput.
