TippingPoint Introduces Groundbreaking Network Security Platform Designed for Data Center and Core Network Deployments: Page 3 of 4

The TSE architecture also enables traffic classification and rate shaping. Sophisticated algorithms provide a baseline of "normal" traffic, allowing for automatic thresholds and throttling of malicious or unwanted application traffic. The TSE provides the capacity to turn on all of the security filters required to block malicious traffic from entering the network.

Key features of the N-Platform - including the new code base and parallel processing capabilities, as well as DV filter sets and support of security services - will provide the critical security elements for the 3Com Secure Network Fabric. The Secure Network Fabric is a vital component of 3Com's commitment to deliver a "no compromise" network. As part of this solution, the TippingPoint N-Platform technology will be integrated with the LAN infrastructure equipment from H3C, providing data center customers with comprehensive security at any point on the network under a unified policy management framework.

The TippingPoint N-Platform is expected to be generally available in December 2009. Pricing for the N-Platform varies based on device throughput requirements and geographic location. For more information on the TippingPoint N-Platform product line, please visit www.tippingpoint.com/n-platform.
