NGFW Appliances

HP TippingPoint NGFW Appliances deliver the highest level of defense against network intrusion and

provide application control. Security zones inspect and filter traffic that passes through them.

Application-layer gateway traffic is monitored to identify and classify applications crossing onto the

network. With its ability to identify hundreds of the most common enterprise applications, the NGFW

Application Intelligence System (AIS) enables fine-grained control of those applications and the users

accessing them.

You can install as many HP TippingPoint security appliances as you need to strategically protect your

network enterprise zones. A local client on each appliance monitors and manages activity. Alternatively,

you can manage appliances by using the Security Management System (SMS) console.

The NGFW family includes the S1000 Series, S3000 Series, and the S8000 Series appliances. These

robust, high-performance security appliances offer a scalable solution to support all types of organizations

and network environments.

HP S1000 Series Appliance

The HP S1000 Series comprises a 1U form-factor appliance designed for smaller organizations, such as

corporate branch offices. This appliance provides full next-generation firewall protection designed to meet

the needs and budgets of small- to medium-sized organizations.

The S1000 Series currently features the S1050F model.
