Data center constraints on space, power, and cooling just add to your challenges of finding the right network security device. The Cisco FirePOWER™ 7000 Series solves these challenges by providing leading threat protection appliances with scalability, energy efficiency, and a low total cost of ownership. The Cisco FirePOWER 7000 Series Appliances are the base platform for the Cisco FirePOWER next-generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) threat protection solution.
