Cisco Firepower
Overview
The Secure Firewall 3105 is the entry model of Cisco's 3100 series — the current step up for enterprise edges and data centres replacing ageing Firepower 2100 and 4100 hardware. We supply it with licensing, build the policy and deliver high-availability pairs ready to cut over.

UK buying guide
Compare the exact hardware, licensing and compatibility—not just the product family or headline price.
Identify the security services, VPN traffic and internet bandwidth required at each site. Compare the relevant performance figures in the exact model's datasheet rather than treating raw firewall throughput as inspected throughput.
Confirm which subscriptions enable the required protections, their duration and the support included. List hardware, security services and support separately so two proposals can be compared on equal terms.
Check WAN and LAN interfaces, any high-availability requirements and the support lifecycle of both the proposed appliance and your existing equipment before planning a migration.
Official Cisco UK product guides and Cisco Meraki documentation. Check the current datasheet for your exact model before purchase.
Enterprise edges, data-centre perimeters and large multi-site estates where inspected throughput, session scale and interface flexibility all matter. The 3100 series carries dedicated crypto acceleration, so SSL and VPN work does not eat the inspection budget.
Indicative threat-defence-class figures with the security services enabled. We validate against your traffic profile before recommending a model.
| Deployment | Interfaces | Threat defence throughput | Typical users | Scale features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secure Firewall 3105 | 8 x 1/10 GbE + network module slot | ~10 Gbps class | ~1,000+ | HA pairs, redundant power, VPN acceleration |
| Secure Firewall 3120 / 3140 | Higher-density 10/25 GbE | ~20–40 Gbps class | Large enterprise and data centre | Clustering, multi-instance, modular interfaces |
Hardware, threat defence licences, management platform and support are quoted as one package. Appliances are imaged, licensed and pre-configured, and clusters or HA pairs arrive tested.
FAQs
Organisations of roughly 1,000 users and up, data-centre edges, and anyone replacing Firepower 2100 or 4100 hardware that is reaching end of support.
The 3105 carries substantially more inspected throughput, native 10 GbE interfaces and dedicated crypto acceleration. Choose it when VPN or SSL decryption volumes would otherwise throttle inspection on a 2100-series unit.
Yes. The 3100 series supports high-availability pairs and clustering for estates that cannot take an outage. We build and test the configuration before the units ship.
Yes — our engineers migrate the policy, remove rules that are no longer used, and plan the cutover with a documented rollback.
