which was supported under 4.x releases, will require reimaging to the Release 6.0 images. The
second-generation platforms may move through a standard upgrade process to upgrade to this
new release.
The Cisco Security MARS family offers different performance characteristics and prices to meet a
variety of organizational needs and deployment scenarios (Table 1).
