FortiGate Platforms for Large Enterprises and Service Providers
The Fortinet network security solution for large enterprises and service providers includes the FortiGate-5000 Series, the FortiGate-3000 Series, and the FortiGate-1000A Series enterprise network security platforms. Each FortiGate platform delivers best-of-breed, network level threat and content level threat protection. FortiGate platforms provide essential network defenses that keep networks running smoothly and securely by integrating enterprise firewall, Virtual Private Network (VPN), intrusion prevention, antivirus/antimalware, Web Filtering, antispam and application control features. FortiGate platforms can be deployed with one security service active in conjunction with existing security systems, with all network security services enabled or with any mix of security services active in between. Bringing up a new security service with FortiGate platforms is as simple as making a simple change to the network protection profile.
FortiGate high performance units are designed to meet the most stringent requirements for performance and reliability, and include redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans to minimize single-point failures, and also support active/active redundant fail-over for uninterrupted service. The high capacity, reliability and easy management of FortiGate units make them natural choices as the cornerstone of a service provider's managed service offerings.
FortiGate-5000 Series
FortiGate-5000 systems are a family of chassis based and modular systems that provide high levels of multi-gigabit network performance, while also delivering carrier-class stability resulting in effective network-based security for very large networks. With three chassis models of varying capacity and an ever expanding array of network security modules that enable security and networking services, large enterprises and service providers can easily grow the capacity of the FortiGate network security system as the business grows or security requirements change.
FortiGate-5000 series solutions are ideally suited to providing virtualized security capabilities. Virtual Domain (VDOM) features found in FortiGate systems enable the ability to "divide" a security platform into multiple separately provisioned and managed instances. This allows service providers an effective way to efficiently provision cloud-based security services to customers while reducing the physical space, power and complexity of their network infrastructure.
- The first security-based AdvancedTCA Platform
- Highly scalable (up to 112 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and up to 4 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces), multi-function security platform available
- Purpose-built hardware with ASIC-accelerated performance
- Virtualization capability allows provisioning a single hardware platform into multiple virtual security platforms
- Provides high levels of performance scalability and physical port density while delivering firewall, antivirus, intrusion prevention, VPN, antispam and Web filtering services
FortiGate-3810A
The FortiGate-3810A network security appliance is the first standalone security appliance offering optional 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. With four AMC expansion slots, the FortiGate-3810A can be customized to meet and grow with performance needs. Up to 26 Gbps firewall performance can be achieved in a full configuration with just a single 2U rack-mount appliance.
- Network level and Content level threat protection, combined with multi-gigabit performance for large enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) ensures security and throughput
- Base unit provides eight 10/100/1000 ports plus two SFP (fiber) interfaces
- Supports two dual-width and two single-width AMC expansion modules
- Dual-width AMC slots support up to four 10-Gigabit Ethernet XFP interfaces
- Single-width AMC slots support up to eight additional Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces
FortiGate-3600A
The FortiGate-3600A network security appliance establishes a new level of price-performance and flexibility for multi-gigabit capacity network security systems. With ten gigabit Ethernet interfaces and up to 6 Gbps throughput, the FortiGate-3600A enables a new generation of high performance protection against network level and content level threats.
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) slot provides future upgrade possibilities with either the 4 port hardware accelerated SFP expansion module or the storage expansion module.
- Network level and Content level threat protection, combined with multi-gigabit performance for large enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) ensures security and throughput
- Provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper (10/100/1000) interfaces and 2 Gigabit Ethernet fiber (SFP) interfaces for greater flexibility and to meet the needs of large enterprise and service provider networks
FortiGate-3016B
The FortiGate-3016B network security appliance is a carrier-class device with 16 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and a full complement of network protection features. Each interface of the FortiGate-3016B provides wire-speed firewall performance using Fortinet's advanced FortiASIC network processor technology. Multiple FortiGate-3016Bs can be deployed in redundant clusters to ensure failsafe operation.
- Ideal solution for large enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) looking to add new security services
- Highly available architecture and redundant hot-swappable power supplies ensure failsafe operation
- AMC expansion for additional connectivity, performance and storage capacity
FortiGate-1000A and FortiGate-1000AFA2
The FortiGate-1000A network security appliance is a high performance platform that delivers gigabit throughput with high levels of reliability for demanding large enterprise requirements. The FortiGate-1000AFA2 optionally provides two additional fiber interfaces featuring FortiASIC hardware accelerating technology which ensures packet performance is maintained under a variety of conditions. FortiGate-1000A products can be deployed into existing networks with one or all of the FortiOS security features enabled. High Availability (HA) abilities and redundant hot-swappable power supplies help to ensure non-stop operation for mission-critical applications.
- FG-1000A offers 10 tri-speed 10/100/1000 Base-TX interfaces
- FG-1000AFA2 offers 10 tri-speed ports + 2 Small Form-factor Pluggable(SFP) FortiAccel ASIC accelerated ports for line rate performance of all packet sizes ideal for applications such as VOIP.
