Fortinet launches New Data Center Security Appliance
Fortinet has added a new consolidated security appliance to its award-winning FortiGate product family. The FortiGate-3140B consolidated security appliance is designed for large enterprises and data centers requiring maximum firewall, virtual private network and intrusion prevention system (IPS) performance to optimize protection against blended threats, destructive malware and constantly evolving attempts to breach security in high-speed network environments.
Leveraging custom FortiASIC processors, the FortiGate-3140B appliance provides large enterprises with up to 58 gigabits-per-second of firewall performance, 10 Gbps of IPS performance, and up to a robust 22 gigabits-per-second of VPN performance, all in a highly compact two-rack unit (2-RU) form factor designed to preserve precious wiring closet real estate. The new appliance comes standard with ten 10-gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) ports. To provide the most flexible protection for the most demanding network environments, the appliance offers a total of 22 ports, making the system ideal for data center and other high-bandwidth applications. This unmatched port density enables the FortiGate-3140B to be deployed as either a high-performance firewall or a unified threat management solution that can be easily configured to concurrently support VPN, IPS, application control, anti-spam and antivirus security measures without degrading performance.
Equipped with the third major release of the FortiOS 4.0 MR3 operating system, the FortiGate-3140B will feature active profiling for improved policy enforcement and flow-based inspection for superior Web filtering and traffic shaping.
"Our large enterprise customers are vocal about their need for proactive security measures that can combine the trifecta of high performance, consolidated threat management, and ease of deployment in a single appliance," said Michael Xie, Founder, CTO and Vice-President of engineering at Fortinet. "And once again, we are responding to this directive with the release of our latest additions to the FortiGate product line. By innovating across hardware, software and 'threat landscape' dimensions, we continue to meet the evolving security requirements of our worldwide customer base."
