ASA5545-DC-K8 Cisco ASA 5545-X 8 ports Firewall Edition New

The ASA5545-DC-K8 Cisco ASA 5545-X 8 ports Firewall Edition Security Appliance is designed to provide high-performance firewall, VPN, and intrusion prevention capabilities for mid-sized to large organizations. The appliance is equipped with hardware components that enable it to handle large volumes of traffic and support advanced security features.

Some key performance and scalability features of the ASA5545-DC-K8 include:

• Firewall Throughput: The ASA5545-DC-K8 is capable of providing a firewall throughput of up to 3 Gbps. This means that the device can process and inspect up to 3 gigabits of traffic per second.
• VPN Throughput: The appliance is capable of providing VPN throughput of up to 1.5 Gbps, which means it can encrypt and decrypt up to 1.5 gigabits of traffic per second.
• Concurrent Sessions: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can support up to 750,000 concurrent sessions. This means it can maintain up to 750,000 unique connections at the same time.
• Maximum Connections Per Second: The appliance is capable of processing up to 100,000 connections per second. This means it can establish and tear down up to 100,000 connections per second.
• IPS Throughput: The ASA5545-DC-K8 is capable of providing IPS throughput of up to 1.5 Gbps. This means it can inspect up to 1.5 gigabits of traffic per second for intrusion attempts.
• Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) Throughput: The appliance can provide AMP throughput of up to 450 Mbps. This means it can scan up to 450 megabits of traffic per second for malware.
• Scalability: The ASA5545-DC-K8 is designed to be highly scalable and can be easily integrated into existing network infrastructures. It supports clustering, virtualization, and other advanced features that enable organizations to scale their security infrastructure as needed.
• Multi-Protocol Support: The ASA5545-DC-K8 supports a wide range of protocols, including TCP, UDP, ICMP, and more. This means it can handle traffic from a variety of applications and services.

The ASA5545-DC-K8 Cisco ASA 5545-X 8 ports Firewall Edition Security Appliance supports various high availability (HA) features to ensure continuous and reliable operation of the network security infrastructure. The HA features are designed to provide redundancy and failover capabilities, so that if a primary device fails, a secondary device takes over with minimal disruption to network operations.

Some of the HA features supported by the ASA5545-DC-K8 include:

• Active/Standby Failover: In this configuration, two ASA5545-DC-K8 devices are deployed in a failover pair, with one device designated as the active unit and the other as the standby unit. The active unit handles all network traffic, while the standby unit monitors the active unit and takes over if it fails.
• Active/Active Failover: In this configuration, two ASA5545-DC-K8 devices are deployed in a failover pair, with both devices actively processing network traffic. Each device handles specific traffic flows, and if one device fails, the other takes over its traffic flows.
• Stateful Failover: This configuration provides a way to maintain session information between the active and standby units in a failover pair. When a failover occurs, the new active unit assumes responsibility for all active sessions and continues to process new sessions.
• Redundant Interfaces: The ASA5545-DC-K8 supports redundant interfaces, which can be used to connect the device to redundant network devices such as switches or routers. This provides additional redundancy and failover capabilities at the network layer.
• Virtualization: The ASA5545-DC-K8 supports virtualization through the use of multiple contexts. Each context functions as a separate firewall instance with its own policies and configurations, providing an additional layer of isolation and failover capabilities.
• Clustering: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can be deployed in a cluster configuration, which allows multiple devices to work together as a single logical unit. Clustering provides additional scalability and redundancy capabilities, as well as improved performance.

The ASA5545-DC-K8 Cisco ASA 5545-X Firewall Edition Security Appliance is equipped with Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) features that provide advanced threat detection and blocking capabilities to protect the network against malware and other advanced threats.

The AMP features of ASA5545-DC-K8 include:

• File Reputation Analysis: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can analyze the reputation of files by comparing them to a cloud-based database of known good and bad files. This helps to identify and block known malware and other threats.
• File Trajectory Analysis: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can track the trajectory of a file through the network to identify any suspicious behavior. This helps to detect and block advanced malware that may be designed to evade traditional security measures.
• Network File Analysis: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can perform deep packet inspection of network traffic to analyze files in real-time. This helps to identify and block malware that may be embedded in legitimate network traffic.
• Retrospective Analysis: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can perform retrospective analysis of files that have already entered the network. If a file is later identified as malicious, the ASA5545-DC-K8 can automatically quarantine it and alert network administrators.
• Cloud-based Analytics: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can send file metadata to a cloud-based analytics engine for further analysis. This helps to identify and block zero-day threats that may not be known to the local threat database.
• Threat Intelligence Feeds: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can receive threat intelligence feeds from Cisco Talos, a global threat intelligence organization. This helps to ensure that the local threat database is up-to-date and includes the latest threat information.
• Integration with Other Security Products: The ASA5545-DC-K8 can integrate with other Cisco security products, such as Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), to provide a comprehensive security solution.
