New Cisco PIX 506E and 515E Firewalls

The "E" indicates that this is an enhanced version of the widely popular Cisco PIX® 506 or 515 Firewall platforms. Enhancements include more powerful processors, which result in up to a two and one-half times increase in firewall and virtual private network (VPN) performance, depending on packet size. In the case of the Cisco PIX 515E models (with Unrestricted or Failover licenses), this enhancement also provides integrated hardware-based VPN acceleration. Cisco PIX 506E and 515E platforms offer the same form factor, flexibility, interface support, and Cisco PIX OS support as the Cisco PIX 506 and 515 models.
