The PIX has several features that create advantages over traditional proxy or application-based firewall products.
- The PIX is hardware-based, and combines strong security with high performance.
- The PIX can handle up to 256,000 simultaneous connections, more than any UNIX-based firewall product.
- The PIX operates without the inherent security risks of open system architecture faced by UNIX or Windows NT-based firewall products.
