Fortinet eliminates Security Bottlenecks with FortiGate-3700D

Fortinet has announced the release of new FortiGate-3700D data center firewall appliance for enterprise data centers, large service providers, cloud providers and carriers. FortiGate-3700D, which includes four 40 GbE (QSFP+) and 28 10GbE (SFP+) ports, is able to achieve up to 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps) firewall throughput.

Using Fortinet’s new custom NP6 ASIC, the FortiGate-3700D is able to deliver best-in-class performance, low latency and IPv4 to IPv6 performance parity. This performance improvement lowers both capital and operational costs for customers while providing the highest performance and lowest latency available.

Having customers like Zapak, Bigadda Shop, Reliance Games and Manipal Ankur, we need to ensure that our firewall does not become a bottleneck. Fortinet’s solutions provide us with fast firewall throughput for data center and cloud customers, and the best RoI for managed security services. Fortinet also adds flexibility and manageability to our enterprise-class security services which are tailored to suit our customers' requirements, said A S Rajgopal, MD & CEO, NxtGen Datacenter & Cloud Technologies.

Indian data centre and enterprise cloud services provider NxtGen has been using Fortinet's data centre grade FortiGate security appliances. As NxtGen’s network handles over 5 million sessions per second, low latency on the network is critical to the cloud infrastructure performance.
