Johnson County Library Firewall Replacement Project

Johnson County Library

The buyer seeks to replace its core firewalls through the FCC E-Rate Program. They require two Palo Alto firewalls or equivalent, with licensing, hardware, and professional services for implementation. The solution should handle security filtering for internal networks and internet connections, with capacity for growth over 5 years. The buyer estimates a throughput requirement of 8-10 Gbps with threat prevention enabled.
