White Paper Abstract:
In this document, you will learn key metrics you should use to evaluate firewall performance in the data center and why raw throughput is almost never the most important performance metric to use in your planning. Selecting a firewall does not mean simply picking the fastest firewall, but the one that is designed to handle the rapidly evolving, network-intensive application environment of the data center. You will also learn why today’s firewalls must be built from the start to support today’s network-based applications, and how to confidently use firewalls to increase security in data centers.
