It alleviates the performance bottlenecks in Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances through intelligent integration of on-premise and cloud-based technologies. While the powerful on-premises appliance is optimized for tasks like packet forwarding and routing, Intrusion Prevention (IPS), DNS/DHCP services and site-to-site connectivity; CPU intensive tasks like virus scanning, content filtering and usage reporting benefit from the scalable performance and elasticity of the cloud.
