Many organizations today are dependent on fast, reliable and secure Internet connectivity, but are struggling to find network security solutions that can keep up with their ever growing needs. While many rack-mount solutions can keep up with today’s fastest fiber-to-the-premises speeds, there are not currently any tabletop security appliances available that have this capability, especially when running with additional security services enabled. This makes it difficult for SMBs and distributed enterprises to harness these powerful Internet speeds with the complete UTM protection they require.
That was before the WatchGuard Firebox T70.
The WatchGuard Firebox T70 will make network slowdown concerns a thing of the past, with blazing-fast performance capable of delivering full UTM protection at over 1 gigabit per second. With the release of the WatchGuard Firebox T70 tabletop network security appliance, customers can now enjoy the fast throughput that they want, with the industry-leading security that they need. The WatchGuard T70 is also one of the only tabletop appliances available today that provides users two Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports enabling power to peripheral devices, such as wireless access points and security cameras.

T70 also includes two Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports to power peripheral devices such as wireless access points and security cameras, allowing administrators to extend the reach of their networks without having to run costly AC power to remote devices. PoE ports aren’t often found on tabletop appliances, making this a unique appliance for SMBs and distributed enterprise organizations.
