1ICSA Certification is currently pending for all E-Class NSA Series appliances.
2Services must be purchased separately.
3Testing Methodologies: Maximum performance based on RFC 2544 (for firewall and VPN). Actual performance may vary depending on network conditions and activated services. VPN throughput measured using UDP traffic at 1280 byte packet size adhering to RFC 2544.
4Testing using HTTP Throughput test.
