Huawei was the first to launch this feature at the “MPLS & Ethernet World Congress” held in early 2011. The USG9500 is built on Huawei’s high-end router platform, with both the backplane capacity and switching capability of the USG9500 delivering a Terabit throughout.

With the USG9500, the four processors are used to manage all services to ensure high performance across all scenarios.

Huawei believes that the popular design of “processor plus hardware acceleration” successfully achieves high performance at a low cost. Each service card includes four processors to provide a throughput of 160 Gbps, the capacity of an entire high-end chassis. The USG9500 is the high-end flagship firewall series of Huawei that uses the new generation processor, an industry-leading multi-core processor, to deliver a throughput of 40 Gbps. Recently, Huawei firewalls have witnessed rapid business growth across a range of products and now include low-end, mid-range, and high-end devices to meet the needs of different a range of enterprises, which include the world’s largest carriers and most reputable companies. With more than ten years of experience in firewall technologies, Huawei’s firewalls have evolved from Gigabit basic firewalls to 10G and 100G firewalls, providing functions such as Network Address Translation (NAT), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Unified Threat Management (UTM), Anti-Distributed Denial of Service (Anti-DDoS), and Carrier-grade NAT to meet the rising security requirements of enterprises. Shanghai, China, 6 September 2012]: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today unveiled its USG9500 series, the world’s first high-end firewall with Terabit throughput, at the Huawei Cloud Computing Conference 2012 (HCC 2012), held in Shanghai, China.
