Your network's been running hot. Remote users are pinging in from three states, the branch link is flaky, and your current box is either choking on TLS inspection or skipping it altogether. The XGS 4500 handles all of that without breaking a sweat.
80Gbps of raw firewall throughput. 75.55Gbps IPsec VPN so remote and branch connections stay encrypted without tanking speed. 31.85Gbps threat protection running on a dedicated Xstream Flow processor — not just a CPU doing its best.
Twelve fixed ports out the box: four 1GbE copper, four 2.5GbE copper, four 10Gb SFP+ fibre. Two Flexi Port slots if you need to push past that to 28 total port density. Dual SSD with RAID-1 is included, so a disk failure doesn't take your security stack offline at 6am on a Monday.
Mid-size orgs, distributed teams, growing headcount — this is the box that keeps up. Transceivers sold separately if you're wiring fibre.
