Firebox High-Performance Rackmount Series Now Available
We’re excited to announce the availability of the new Firebox High-Performance Rackmount series, introducing three new models: M4850, M5850, and M6850.
This new generation of Firebox appliances extends WatchGuard’s network security platform into high‑performance environments, helping organizations and partners address increasing demands for throughput, encrypted traffic inspection, and reliability.
What’s New
The Firebox High-Performance Rackmount series is designed for environments where security is no longer limited to the network edge, but must operate at the core of the organization.
These new appliances deliver:
- Higher performance for modern, high‑traffic environments
- Built-in high-speed connectivity (25G and 100G)
- Consistent throughput with full security services enabled
- Enterprise‑class resilience for critical infrastructure deployments
With these capabilities, organizations can support growing traffic volumes and more demanding use cases without introducing additional complexity.
Designed for Growth and Scale
As networks expand and encrypted traffic continues to grow, traditional firewall deployments often face performance and scalability limitations. This can force organizations to either extend existing platforms beyond their intended use or move to more complex solutions.
The Firebox High-Performance Rackmount series provides a clear path forward by extending the Firebox platform into high-capacity deployments, allowing organizations to scale without changing their operational model.
Platform Consistency, Simplified Operations
A key advantage of the Firebox High-Performance Rackmount series is its seamless integration with the broader WatchGuard platform.
Organizations benefit from:
- Centralized management through WatchGuard Cloud
- Consistent policy enforcement across environments
- Streamlined deployment and configuration
This ensures that scaling infrastructure does not introduce additional operational burden.
Flexible Model Options
The new series includes three models to support different performance and scalability requirements:
- M4850 → Entry to high-performance, ideal for upgrading from midrange deployments
- M5850 → Designed for sustained performance in campus and core environments
- M6850 → Provides maximum headroom for high‑growth and data center edge deployments
Datasheets
To support your deployments and customer conversations, the following datasheets are available:
Summary
The Firebox High-Performance Rackmount series represents the next step in the evolution of Firebox, delivering higher performance, greater scalability, and enterprise‑ready reliability, while maintaining the simplicity and consistency of the WatchGuard platform.
