Professional Edition - Data Sheet Filtering - Data Sheet

The 8e6 Professional Edition offers high-performance, enterprise-level filtering with the R3000 Internet Filter. An appliance optimized for speed and scalability, the R3000 provides 90+ categories and millions of Web sites in the 8e6 Database. Deployed in “pass-by” or transparent mode, the R3000 sits outside the flow of network traffic to "watch" rather than "stop and check", delivering unmatched network compatibility and performance.
