Service detail
Designed for security solutions that are capable of high throughput, maximum scalability and low latency, IBM Proventia Network IPS GX6116 delivers uncompromising protection for your network with throughput of 15 Gbps and inspected throughput of 8 Gbps.
 
Highlights
A Raza Microelectronics network processing unit (NPU) specifically designed for high-speed processing of network packets
Eight 64bit multi-core processors and dual XEON® x86 processors examine traffic across all seven OSI layers
High availability options for continuous protection and network availability
Robust hardware redundancy for power supplies and data storage
Vulnerability-based protection to stop threats before they impact business
Proven protection for entire categories of attacks including buffer overflows, worms, spyware, denial-of-service and browser-based attacks

Securing high-speed networks without sacrificing performance
Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) can help enterprises meet compliance requirements and protect valuable business data, but network administrators cannot tolerate the negative impact many traditional security appliances have on the network. The solution enterprises require merges network performance and availability with advanced threat protection.

The Proventia GX6116 offers the best of both worlds — network performance and ahead-of-the-threat protection.

Engineered with today's three network pain points in mind — Performance, Availability and Reliability — the Proventia Network IPS GX6116 is designed to secure the network, maximize uptime and optimize throughput.
