Processing Unit is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA),
so that software enhancements and upgrades can be downloaded
and installed over the Internet.
The
Astaro Security Gateway 425 also features 2GB of DDR-II
memory and 8 gigabit-speed network ports, four of which
are connected to a PCI-Express bus for very high levels
