FAQs for XGS 4500
Q: Who is the XGS 4500 designed for?
A: The XGS 4500 is designed for large enterprises, data centers, and campus networks. It's built for environments with very high traffic volume that require multiple 10G and 40G fiber connections for core networking and segmentation.
Q: What are the expansion bays for?
A: The dual expansion bays allow for enhanced connectivity. You can add modules for more 10G SFP+ ports, 40G QSFP+ ports, or additional copper ports, making the firewall highly adaptable to your specific data center needs.
Q: What is the difference between the Xstream Protection bundle and the Standard Protection bundle?
A: Xstream Protection (included in this bundle) is the all-in-one, top-tier bundle. The "Standard Protection" bundle is a more basic package that does not include Zero-Day Protection (Sandstorm) or Central SD-WAN Orchestration. We highly recommend the Xstream Protection bundle for complete security.
