Cisco^® ASA 5500 and ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls integrate the world's most proven stateful inspection firewall with a comprehensive suite of highly integrated next-generation firewall services for networks of all sizes - small and midsize businesses with one or a few locations, large enterprises, service providers, and mission-critical data centers. The Cisco ASA 5500 and ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls deliver MultiScale^™ performance with unprecedented services flexibility, including next-generation firewall capabilities, modular scalability, feature extensibility, and lower deployment and operations costs.

Midsize businesses protecting the Internet edge require the same level of protection as large enterprise networks. You require enterprise-strength security, but purchasing a firewall that was built to handle the performance needs and budget of a large enterprise would be unnecessary and a waste of company resources. You need a firewall that provides the performance you need at a price you can afford, along with the visibility and control you need to take advantage of new applications and devices without compromising security.
