The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 5585-X, intended for use in data centers run by large enterprises or service providers, has a two-slot chassis with a separate slot intended for the IPS blade. The multi-function firewall/VPN appliance is available now, though the IPS blade for it is not expected to ship until the end of the year.
"We know IPS can take a lot of power so the upper card is dedicated for you to do IPS," says Shalabh Mohan, director of product management at Cisco's security technology business unit. The ASA 5585-X is available in four models that range from 2 Gbps to 20 Gbps and are priced from $29,000 to $300,000.
