Primary Benefits:

• 4.4 Gbps layer 2 switch performance
• Enhanced network security through the extension of security to layer 2 switching hardware
• Reduced complexity and cost by combining critical network functions into a single solution
• Lowered operational overhead and expense through automated responses and self-remediation options
