IPS system with 20 Gb eth ports

[Greg Herbert]

Hello,

I'm just trying to find a product that meeting the specs I've been handed. One of the issues I'm running into is finding an IPS with 20 Gb Ethernet ports on it. Does anyone have a suggestion?

TIA.

The interface standard speeds are 1, 10 and 40 Gb/s. I;m not aware of any interfaces that run at 20Gb/s.

If you're looking for an IPS sensor that can process 20 Gb/s of traffic:

SourceFire has the 3D8260 (their clusters run 20, 30 and 40 Gb/s)

McAfee is releasing a new line this summer but I can't remember the model number off hand.

Alternately you can statefully load balance across several sensors (clustering).

You will soon discover going fast is damn expensive.
