The new USG FLEX H series delivers triple performance to keep SMBs secure while working at multi-gigabit speeds
Zyxel Networks, a frontrunner in providing secure cloud networking solutions driven by AI, has introduced the USG FLEX H series Security Firewall. This fresh line of security devices is tailored to bolster small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) by offering outstanding multi-gigabit performance and cutting-edge security features.
High-speed triple performance
As businesses advance their connected devices and networks to multi-gigabit capabilities, their need for a firewall matching that speed and performance becomes crucial. The USG FLEX H series steps up by delivering triple-performance firewall, VPN, and Unified Threat Management (UTM) throughputs, surpassing the previous generation of Zyxel security appliances. It provides multi-gigabit speeds from 1G and 2.5G to 10G, catering to SMBs’ expanding network requirements.
Certain models feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) options, boasting a power budget of up to 30W. This capability facilitates seamless connectivity and power supply to devices like WiFi 6E Access Points (APs) and 5G routers while simplifying network cabling. Moreover, the incorporation of software-defined Ethernet ports, previously reserved for enterprise-grade products, empowers users to flexibly configure ports for either LAN or WAN usage, granting enhanced adaptability in network configurations.
AI-powered security and hassle-free management
In response to the escalating complexity of threats confronting businesses, the USG FLEX H series harnesses AI-powered cloud intelligence to offer comprehensive protection through multiple layers. This defense system integrates sandboxing, anti-malware measures, DNS/IP/URL filtering, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and application patrol.
Moreover, the firewalls extend robust support for widely adopted VPN protocols such as IKEv2/EAP and SSL VPN, accessible across various operating systems. All these functionalities are covered under a unified Zyxel SecuExtender VPN Client license key.
Streamlining tasks for network administrators, the USG FLEX H series facilitates both standalone and centrally managed protection via Zyxel’s Nebula Cloud. Administrators can swiftly onboard devices using the Nebula app and seamlessly transition between the device GUI or Nebula Control Center to oversee network management. Notably, supported features will expand through ongoing updates.
This ensures secure connections and facilitates centralized management of wired and wireless devices, as well as security devices, all from a unified interface.
Enhanced user experience with the new uOS
Engineered with a keen eye on user experience, the USG FLEX H series features the uOS operating system. This system boasts a sleek, modern interface that enhances overall usability and speeds up system responses when handling intricate configurations. Its graphical dashboard presents a comprehensive view of the network’s security landscape, enabling network admins to swiftly make informed decisions for timely threat responses.
Crowley Wu, Zyxel’s vice president of sales and marketing, expresses excitement about introducing the USG FLEX H series to SMBs, emphasizing its unparalleled performance, heightened security, and simplified user experience. This new line of security appliances is envisioned to empower businesses to adapt to evolving networking demands and effectively safeguard their valuable digital assets with a high-speed, high-performance firewall for their multi-gigabit networks.
The USG FLEX H series comprises six models tailored to suit the versatile needs of SOHO and SMBs. The bundled version includes a one-year Gold Security Pack license encompassing services such as sandboxing, reputation filtering, Nebula Pro Pack, SecuReporter, and more.
