Trend Micro Delivers Appliance with Industry’s Fastest Network Inspection in the Smallest Form Factor

Recognizing that speed and size are essential to optimizing and securing data centers and high performing enterprise networks, Trend Micro Inc. announced the general availability of the industry's fastest inspection throughput in a single device. The new offering carries an unprecedented 40 Gbps of intrusion prevention in a one rack unit (1U) form factor, making Trend Micro the first to deliver this level of performance in a small physical footprint.

The Trend Micro TippingPoint 8200TX and 8400TX, powered by XGen, are the newest members of the TippingPoint Threat Protection System (TPS) family. With the new flexible licensing model of this much-anticipated hardware refresh, customers can easily scale performance and security requirements with a pay-as-you go approach and reassign licenses across TPS deployments without changing network infrastructure.

"This compact and highly scalable solution gives enterprises the ability to deploy top-of-the-line security across the entire infrastructure, especially where limited rack space was an issue," said Rob Ayoub, Research director of IDC. "By unbundling hardware and software, Trend Micro met a market demand with the TPS family's flexible licensing model and lower total cost of ownership. This new model allows channel partners to better service their customers by upgrading performance with a license key similar to software."

Providing an impartial, third-party resource validation, NSS Labs has recognized the TX series with a "recommended" rating based on the 2017 NSS Labs Next Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS) test report.

The NSS Labs evaluation analyzed the TippingPoint TX, which scored an overall security effectiveness rating of 99.6 percent and proved to be effective against all evasion techniques tested. This rating further supports Trend Micro's commitment to its customers, as well as industry leadership in network protection.
