FPR1010-NGFW-K9 vs FPR1010-ASA-K9
The purchase decision is the software image rather than the chassis. FPR1010-NGFW-K9 runs Secure Firewall Threat Defense and is sized with Cisco FW+AVC, IPS and NGIPS metrics; FPR1010-ASA-K9 runs ASA and is sized with ASA stateful and multiprotocol firewall metrics. Choose the required inspection, management and high-availability model first, and keep the two Cisco test modes separate when reviewing performance.
