Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System Technical Specifications
Versioning information
The 4.x releases will continue to support the MARS-20R, MARS-20, MARS-50, MARS-100e,
MARS-100, MARS-200, MARS-GCm, MARS-GC appliances. The 5.x releases will continue to
support features on new appliance models MARS-110R, MARS-110, MARS-210, MARS-GC2 and
new addition of MARS-GC2R (new Global Controller, see Table 1 for detail). There will be
significant feature parity across the two releases. Even though appliance differences result in
minor differences in some feature implementations, every effort is made to provide parallel,
equivalent feature support. Please refer to the Gen2 Hardware release Q&A for further details.
Cisco Security MARS family offers different performance characteristics and prices to meet a
variety of organizational needs and deployment scenarios (Table 1).
