Helps organizations lower costs, strengthen security and improve business agility

Monday, June 08, 2009

Virtual Technology Delivery Options - The new McAfee Firewall Enterprise 2150 VX appliances are 2U appliances that allow customers the ability to consolidate up to 32 firewalls into one physical appliance. The new McAfee Firewall Enterprise Virtual Appliance is an integrated software-only appliance that lets customers rapidly deploy protection into their own virtual environments on their own hardware. Both virtual technology delivery options support enterprise data center consolidation efforts. The 2150 VX models are also ideally suited to multi-tenant environments with their unique reporting and management requirements.

Integration with McAfee ePO software - McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center (CommandCenter), used to manage multiple McAfee firewalls, now integrates with McAfee ePO, providing visibility into individual firewall health and status reports. Firewall Profiler is also integrated with McAfee ePO software, sending real-time prioritized alerts and overall context of event trends. By integrating with ePO software, the Firewall Enterprise product line now delivers Network security visibility to the ePO management console, further lowering management and compliance reporting costs for the overall organization.

Advance threat protection - McAfee Firewall Enterprise leverages McAfee’s global threat intelligence to deliver the world’s most advanced threat protection. McAfee TrustedSource reputation geo-location and reputation filtering allow organizations to limit their network connections to those with good reputations, coming from relevant locations. McAfee Antivirus protection, running on the firewall, leverages the global threat collection and analysis done by McAfee to deliver the most up-to-date protection against known bad code.

Availability

McAfee Firewall Enterprise appliances are available today, starting at $4,900 USD. Exact pricing depends on customer requirements, selected model and associated add-on modules. The McAfee Firewall Enterprise Virtual Appliance is priced at $4900 per VMWare ESX instance. McAfee Firewall Profiler appliance starts at $19,500 USD and Firewall Enterprise Control Center starts at $6,900 USD.
