WatchGuard Accelerates Firebox X VPN Performance With SafeNet’s SafeXcel-1141 VPN Chip
"Integrated security appliances require hardware acceleration to meet system performance goals," said David Potts, Senior Vice President and General Manager for SafeNet's Embedded Security Division. "Our SafeXcel-1141 chip enables WatchGuard to deliver high-performance VPN capabilities on an integrated appliance at an affordable price. WatchGuard's new Firebox X is specifically designed to meet the security needs of SME customers and we’re excited to help WatchGuard serve this market."
WatchGuard Firebox X is the first line of integrated security appliances with full model upgrade capability that can be activated with the application of software license keys. Customers can purchase model upgrades as their security needs change and obtain all the performance and functionality of a higher model in the line, just as if they had purchased it originally. The model upgrade allows customers to scale their existing Firebox X security appliance simply and economically without costly and time-consuming hardware replacements. It integrates firewall, VPN, application layer security, intrusion prevention functionality, spam blocking, Web filtering, authentication and high availability capability in a single appliance. WatchGuard expects to extend the Firebox X line with the AES encryption acceleration capability provided by the SafeXcel chip – an emerging market requirement.
"As a technology and value leader for VPN acceleration, SafeNet continues to be an important partner for us," said John Stuckey, vice president of marketing for WatchGuard. "We feel confident incorporating the SafeXcel-1141 chip into the Firebox X line of products because it delivers the advanced security capabilities and performance level our customers demand."
Part of the Momentum Series in SafeXcel silicon chips, the SafeXcel-1141 is a highly sophisticated security co-processor designed for SME targeted networking applications like routers and firewalls.
