Product Description
Overview:
The VM-Series supports the exact same next-generation firewall and advanced threat prevention features available in our physical form factor appliances allowing you to safely enable applications flowing into and across your private public and hybrid cloud computing environments.
Automation features such as VM monitoring dynamic address groups and a REST-based API allow you to proactively monitor VM changes dynamically feeding that context into security policies thereby eliminating the policy lag that may occur when your VMs change.
The VM-Series Virtualized Next-Generation Firewall
Protect applications and data deployed across a wide range of public cloud virtualization and NFV environments.
- Identify and control applications grant access based on users and prevent known and unknown threats.
- Segment mission-critical applications and data using Zero Trust principles to improve security posture and achieve compliance
- Centrally manage policies across both physical and virtualized firewalls to ensure consistent security posture.
- Streamline workflow automation to ensure that security keeps pace with the rate of change in your cloud.
The VM-Series: Protect Any Cloud
Organizations are quickly adopting multi-cloud architectures as a means of distributing risk and taking advantage of the core competencies of different cloud vendors. To ensure your applications and data are protected across public cloud virtualized data centers and NFV deployments the VM-Series has been designed to deliver up to 16 Gbps of App-ID-enabled firewall performance across five models:
- VM-50/VM-50 Lite &mdash engineered to consume minimal resources and support CPU oversubscription yet deliver up to 200 Mbps of App-ID-enabled firewall performance for customer scenarios from virtual branch office/customer-premises equipment to high-density multi-tenant environments
- VM-100 and VM-300 &mdash optimized to deliver 2 Gbps and 4 Gbps of App-ID-enabled performance respectively for hybrid cloud segmentation and internet gateway use cases.
- VM-500 and VM-700 &mdash able to deliver an industry-leading 8 Gbps to 16 Gbps of App-ID-enabled firewall performance respectively and can be deployed as NFV security components in fully virtualized data center and service provider environments.
