Hudgins said that enterprise network threats are growing, and the company wants to make sure that the customers can deploy and service the increasingly sophisticated network security solutions their customers demand.

He said that the S-3000 R2 is purpose-built for a variety of network threat and mitigation applications.

According to company officials, the S-3000 R2 also features up to six full-height, full-length PCIe slots, as well as integrated hardware RAID, redundant AC or DC power, and hot swap enterprise class hard drives, all designed to provide maximum reliability for real-time, data-heavy security applications.
