Both products are based on ServGate's state-of-the-art FireFlex(TM) Network Processor architecture, and also feature the Fast Security Policy Director(TM), advanced policy lookup engine that contributes to the SG2000's wire-speed performance. Other features include High Availability, integrated DoS attack protection, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, redundant cooling fans and a comprehensive monitoring and logging system.

"The SG2000 is a very fast, very manageable device, and this latest release demonstrates that ServGate has mastered this (Network Processor) technology. I would recommend the SG2000 to anybody who is evaluating this class of security appliance." The SG2000 family of security appliances, which are based on the latest advances in Intel(R) Network Processor technology, allow both large enterprises as well as service providers to offer cost-effective, high-speed security, and at the same time enhance manageability of multiple security domains and managed security services. In recent reports by independent test labs, the SG2000 has proven to have the fastest port speeds of any security appliance on the market today. "The SG2000 is a very much a market-defining product" according to Dario Zamarian, ServGate's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "In the past, Network Processors were considered a risky proposition for platform development. Now, our approach has been validated, as many upper-end network equipment vendors have launched products utilizing the technology. With nearly three years of Network Processor experience, we have developed a comfort level and proficiency that will help us maintain a competitive edge for years to come."
