Reliable Power Protection for Firewalls, VPN Gateways & Network Security Infrastructure

Firewalls, VPN gateways, and network security appliances protect the network perimeter and enable secure access to applications, cloud services, and remote users. If these devices lose power, both connectivity and security are immediately compromised, exposing organizations to downtime, data risk, and compliance violations.

Xtreme Power Conversion offers a purpose-built portfolio of UPS systems engineered specifically for firewalls, VPN concentrators, and security appliances—from ultra-compact branch deployments to rack-mounted enterprise platforms. Our J60, J60C, V70, J90 (120V), and J90i (208/230V) UPS solutions ensure continuous perimeter protection during outages, brownouts, and unstable power conditions.

UPS protection for firewall and security appliance infrastructure to maintain secure network uptime

 

Why Firewalls & VPN Gateways Need UPS Protection

  • Maintain network connectivity
    Without firewall uptime, branch offices, remote users, and cloud applications are disconnected.
  • Protect the security perimeter
    A firewall outage removes perimeter defenses until power is restored.
  • Support VPN access
    UPS backup keeps site-to-site tunnels and remote-access VPNs active.
  • Avoid business disruption & compliance risk
    Healthcare, finance, retail, and government environments require continuous firewall availability.
  • Enable remote management
    UPS protection keeps IT and security teams connected for monitoring, updates, and troubleshooting.

Xtreme Power UPS systems are compatible with all major firewall and security appliance vendors, including:

  • Fortinet firewalls and FortiGate appliances
  • Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and VPN gateways
  • Cisco ASA and Firepower security appliances
  • Sophos firewalls and unified threat management platforms
  • Check Point security gateways and perimeter appliances
