Arguing that multiple point appliances intended to secure a network only add to complexity without providing the intended protection, F5 Networks is introducing what it calls a Data Center Firewall to combine multiple security solutions into one appliance. The appliance, called BIG-IP model 11050 and carrying a starting price of $ 129,995, delivers such security features as dynamic threat defense, DDoS protection, protocol security, SSL termination and a network firewall.
