Firebox Modularity

Adapting to Changing Network Conditions

Network environments continue to evolve. Fiber, once restricted to enterprise data centers, is now widely available. Even small businesses have access to fiber connectivity options from their Internet service providers and regularly deploy switch equipment that provides 1 Gb or 10 Gb fiber. While firewalls provide the benefit of an all-in-one appliance with advanced security controls, for broad effective protection of your entire network they can limit network topologies – especially as the network evolves. Expandable network modules offer room to grow for the future. If the need for more network ports into the firewall grows, your business doesn’t have to do a costly rip-and-replace. Network admins can simply add a new module to the existing appliance to increase port density. WatchGuard Firebox M Series and Firebox T80 appliances allow you to add network modules to define a configuration that meet the needs of almost any network configuration.
