ServerIron 4G Series
This chapter describes the ServerIron 4G Series.
Overview
The ServerIron 4G Series includes three stackable switches: ServerIron 4G, ServerIron 4G-SSL, and FIPs 140-2
level 2 certified ServerIron 4G-SSL-FIPS.
NOTE:
ServerIron 4G-SSL-FIPS requires software release 10.2.01 or later.
Targeting small and mid-sized enterprise, eCommerce, and service provider sites, ServerIron 4G Series highlights
include:
•
ASIC-Based Application Processors
•
Choice of non-SSL and SSL-Integrated switches
•
Hardware SSL Acceleration (ServerIron 4G-SSL and 4G-SSL-FIPS)
•
FIPS 140-2 level 2 certification (ServerIron 4G-SSL-FIPS only)
NOTE:
The fundamental difference between the SSL and non-SSL ServerIron switches is internal. There is an
embedded hardware ASIC for SSL acceleration in the ServerIron 4G-SSL and 4G-SSL-FIPS switches.
