The F5000-AI-15, F5000-AI-20, and F5000-AI-40 firewalls are high-performance VPN-integrated 10GE fixed-port firewalls intended for vertical markets. The F5000-AI-20 and F5000-AI-40 also support 40GE ports. Designed with multicore processor hardware architecture, the F5000-AI-15 in a 1U footprint and F5000-AI-20 and F5000-AI-40 in a 2U footprint provide rich interfaces and great flexibility in interface expansion. As next- generation firewall products, they support large-size storage drives and can deliver abundant auditing functionalities.

The F5000-AI120/160/360 firewalls are 100GE fixed-port firewalls intended for vertical and carrier markets. Designed with multicore processor hardware architecture, the F5000-AI160 provides six 100GE ports and provides twenty-eight 10GE ports (eight of the 10GE ports can be converted to eight 25GE ports) in a 1U footprint. They offer great flexibility in interface and storage drive expansion, provide rich security features and other advanced capabilities including IPS, AV, ACG, user-based security policy, encrypted traffic inspection, and interoperability with the cloud end.
