The PIX 515-UR-BUN is a free-standing network firewall that provides enough power for over 100,000 concurrent connections and up to 170 Mbps of throughput. The unit has two Ethernet interfaces and can be upgraded to six Ethernet ports, allowing for more robust traffic configurations as well as hosting a protected DMZ for hosting a Web site or performing URL filtering and virus detection. The unit is an especially cost-effective solution for many smaller companies that choose to host their Web site on the outside of their firewall, or through an Internet service provider (ISP), and yet have a need for an inexpensive price/performance firewall solution. It is also ideal for remote sites that require only two-way communication with their corporate network, and situations in which the corporate network provides all Web services on its enterprise firewall.
