Curation Review
✔ Pros:10 Gbps-class firewall and threat-prevention throughput in a 1RU chassis; 1.5M concurrent sessions and 90,000 new connections/sec with AVC; 5.5 Gbps IPsec VPN with up to 2,000 peers; 8 x RJ-45 plus 8 x 1/10G SFP+ ports for mixed copper and fiber; optional redundant 400W AC or DC power supplies; supports both FTD and ASA software images
✘ Cons:No clustering support on the 3105 (the larger 3100 models cluster); VPN offload projection not listed for FTD; threat features and subscriptions (threat, malware, URL filtering) are licensed separately and add to total cost; third-party listings conflict on interface configuration and performance figures; few user reviews specific to the 3105; list prices are high relative to throughput and resellers vary widely
