Performance Metrics
The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 Cisco ASA 5585-X Network Security Appliance is a high-performance firewall designed for large enterprises, service providers, and data centers. Here are some of its key performance metrics:
- Firewall throughput: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can deliver up to 10 Gbps of firewall throughput, which is the maximum amount of data that can be inspected and processed by the firewall per second.
- IPS throughput: The integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in the ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can provide up to 4 Gbps of IPS throughput, which is the maximum amount of data that can be inspected and analyzed for threats by the IPS per second.
- VPN throughput: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can support up to 10 Gbps of VPN throughput, which is the maximum amount of data that can be encrypted and decrypted by the VPN per second.
- Concurrent VPN sessions: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can support up to 50,000 concurrent VPN sessions, which is the maximum number of active VPN connections that can be maintained at the same time.
- Connection rate: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can support up to 750,000 connections per second, which is the maximum number of new connections that can be established by the firewall per second.
- Latency: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 has a low latency of less than 10 microseconds, which is the time it takes for the firewall to process a packet.
Deployment Scenarios
The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 Cisco ASA 5585-X Network Security Appliance is a versatile firewall that can be deployed in various scenarios, depending on the specific security requirements and network architecture. Here are some deployment scenarios for the ASA5585-S10P10-K9:
- Data Center Firewall: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can be deployed as a data center firewall to protect critical applications and data. In this scenario, the firewall is placed at the perimeter of the data center network to filter incoming and outgoing traffic, perform deep packet inspection, and enforce access control policies.
- Service Provider Edge Firewall: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can be deployed as a service provider edge firewall to secure the service provider’s network infrastructure and customer traffic. In this scenario, the firewall is placed at the edge of the service provider network to provide firewall, VPN, and intrusion prevention services.
- Internet Edge Firewall: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can be deployed as an internet edge firewall to protect the organization’s internet-facing infrastructure and users from external threats. In this scenario, the firewall is placed at the perimeter of the corporate network to filter incoming and outgoing traffic, perform application control, and provide VPN connectivity for remote users.
- High Availability Firewall: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can be deployed in a high availability (HA) configuration to provide redundancy and failover capabilities for mission-critical applications and services. In this scenario, two ASA5585-S10P10-K9 firewalls are deployed in an active-passive configuration, with one firewall serving as the primary and the other as the standby.
- Virtual Firewall: The ASA5585-S10P10-K9 can be deployed in a virtualized environment to provide firewall and security services for virtual machines (VMs). In this scenario, the firewall is deployed as a virtual machine on a hypervisor, and the traffic between the VMs is inspected and filtered by the firewall.
