Introducing Enterprise Firewall Core

min

The Dream Machine Beast proved that hyperscale-class Neoverse N2 compute could redefine firewall performance in the mid-market. Now, that same architecture and philosophy are being brought to enterprise environments with the introduction of the Enterprise Firewall Core. Designed for organizations that demand uncompromising security, performance, and simplicity, it delivers a new standard for modern network infrastructure without the burden of licensing costs.

Enterprise Performance Powered by Neoverse N2

At the heart of the Enterprise Firewall Core are 24 Neoverse N2 cores, providing the computational power required to support large-scale enterprise networks. Built to handle massive session counts, high throughput demands, thousands of VPN tunnels, and advanced security workloads simultaneously, it delivers the performance needed for today's distributed organizations.

  • Powered by 24 hyperscale-class Neoverse N2 cores
  • Supports up to 22,000 active devices
  • Handles up to 10 million concurrent sessions
  • Built to sustain advanced security services at scale
Enterprise-grade performance starts with hyperscale-class compute.

Real-Time Threat Protection at Massive Throughput

Security effectiveness depends on both intelligence and speed. The Enterprise Firewall Core delivers threat detection at up to 79 Gbps while continuously inspecting traffic against tens of thousands of threat signatures. Powered by Proofpoint's real-time threat intelligence updates, Cybersecure Enterprise on Enterprise Firewall Core helps organizations stay protected against emerging threats without sacrificing performance.

  • Threat detection throughput up to 79 Gbps
  • Inspects traffic against tens of thousands of signatures
  • Real-time threat intelligence updates from Proofpoint with Cybersecure Enterprise
  • Maintains performance under demanding workloads
Security should move at the speed of your network.

Full SSL Inspection Without Compromise

As encrypted traffic continues to dominate enterprise networks, SSL inspection has become essential for maintaining visibility and enforcing security policies. The Enterprise Firewall Core delivers up to 61 Gbps of full SSL inspection, ensuring encrypted traffic can be analyzed at scale without becoming a bottleneck.

  • Up to 61 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput
  • Maintains visibility into encrypted traffic
  • Supports modern security and compliance requirements
  • Designed for high-volume enterprise environments
Encrypted traffic should never become a blind spot.

Purpose-Built for Large-Scale SD-WAN

Distributed organizations need secure connectivity between sites, users, and applications. The Enterprise Firewall Core serves as a powerful SD-WAN anchor, supporting thousands of encrypted tunnels while delivering the throughput required for global operations.

  • Supports more than 5,000 concurrent IPsec/WireGuard tunnels
  • Up to 38 Gbps aggregate IPsec throughput
  • Ideal for large-scale SD-WAN deployments
  • Secure connectivity across distributed environments
Built to connect thousands of sites without slowing down.

Built-In High Availability and Resiliency

Keeping services online is critical for enterprise operations. The Enterprise Firewall Core simplifies high availability deployment through VRRP-enabled Shadow Mode, while Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation and switch stacking extend resiliency throughout the network infrastructure. The Enterprise Firewall Core is also designed with hot-swappable fans and redundant power supplies, as well as integrated management and console ports to further enhance hardware reliability.

  • Rapid high-availability deployment with Shadow Mode and VRRP
  • Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation for increased redundancy at the core
  • Switch stacking for resilient network operations at the edge
  • Reduced downtime and simplified failover management at the hardware and software layer
Resiliency should be easy to deploy and effortless to maintain.

Unified Management Across Every Site

Managing distributed networks becomes significantly simpler with Site Manager. Organizations can unify SD-WAN, orchestration, and identity-aware policy enforcement across all locations through a single platform. Integration with Entra, Google Workspace, and LDAP enables policies to follow users wherever they connect, creating a more secure and consistent experience.

  • Centralized SD-WAN and network orchestration
  • Identity-aware policy enforcement with Entra integration
  • Single-pane management across every site
  • Simplified operations for distributed organizations
One platform, one policy framework, every site connected.

The Enterprise Firewall Core combines hyperscale compute, enterprise-grade security, resilient networking, and centralized management into a single platform. By eliminating licensing requirements while delivering exceptional performance and advanced protection, it gives organizations the freedom to scale securely, simplify operations, and build for the future with confidence.
