What are the advantages of cloud web security being integrated with the firewall?

Now that Cisco Cloud Web Security is integrated with Cisco ASA Software Release 9.0, organizations gain a centralized content security solution combined with localized network security. However, in contrast to all-in-one offerings, which suffer significant performance degradation when web security services are enabled, there is little to no impact on ASA performance because the content scanning is offloaded to the Cisco web security cloud. Administrators can choose to perform deep content scanning on a subset of traffic, based on network address, Microsoft Active Directory user or group name, or hosts residing inside a specific security context.

Does performance vary from one software release to another?

New features result in a minor variance in performance from one software release to another across all ASA platforms.

What is the ASA firewall transparent mode?

Traditionally, a firewall is a routed hop and acts as a default gateway for hosts that connect to one of its screened subnets. A transparent firewall, on the other hand, is a Layer 2 firewall that acts like a "bump in the wire," or a "stealth firewall," and is not seen as a router hop to connected devices.

Do you provide an enterprise management tool with the capability to manage multiple instances of your solution?

Yes, the Cisco Content Switching Module delivers this capability.

What version of Cisco Security Manager is used to manage the ASA5515-K9?

The Cisco ASA 5500-X Series can be managed using Cisco Security Manager 4.3 and later. Previous releases do not support the Cisco ASA 5500-X Series.

We are planning to deploy ASA 5525 and enable unequal load-sharing with static routes(1:1). We have two different ISP Provider (30Mbps and 45Mbps lease line). Also, we want to enable Site-to-Site VPN with our other branch. So will this unequal load-sharing with static routes creates any issue configuring site-to-site VPN. My main concern is that for both the two ISP line the local ip are in the same range. So will it create any problem? Scenario: 1 ISP: 10.4.1.1 2 ISP: 11.0.0.1 Local ip 192.168.1.1 (DHCP enable 102.168.2.1 - 192.168.5.250)

I think it's not possible or maybe you want unequal cost load sharing, that is possible with eigrp but at the end CEF table will decide when to use one route over the other.

2 Cisco ASA 5525x Note: One of the ASA should have unrestricted (UR) license and the other unit can have a Failover Only Active-Active (FO_AA) license, or another UR license.

2*5525 is OK.
