Recently Cisco has just released its 5500-X series Firewalls.  These are context aware firewalls, that deliver everything we loved about the previous generation ASA’s, but include multigigabit performance, flexable interface options, and optionally provide broad and deep network security without the need for additional hardware modules.  I am really looking forward to working with these.
