Thunder CFW (Convergent Firewall)

Carrier-class Gi/SGi and data-centre firewall combined with CGNAT, DDoS protection and application delivery on ACOS, sold as hardware, vThunder virtual and cThunder container. Thunder CFW is a consolidated network security platform for application and infrastructure solutions. For example, if you already deploy a firewall in front of application services that are protected by a load balancer or ADC, Thunder CFW allows you to consolidate both functions into a single platform. It also provides deployment flexibility, allowing you to move Thunder CFW instances across supported cloud environments while using the same pooled capacity. It is available as a container image, a hardware appliance and a virtual appliance.

A10 Networks was founded in San Jose in 2004 and listed in 2014, and its business is high-throughput traffic handling: application delivery controllers, load balancers and the security functions that make sense at that point in the network. Thunder CFW, the convergent firewall listed here, is part of that family — a firewall built for carrier and data-centre scale, sold alongside Thunder ADC for application delivery and Thunder TPS for absorbing denial-of-service attacks. Much of its business is with mobile operators, where the volumes involved are the whole engineering problem. It is a network infrastructure vendor. What it does is not what the endpoint laboratories test, and its rows here record the product rather than a detection score. Vendor page →
