To meet the stringent performance and connectivity demands of next-generation high-speed data centers, Fortinet is setting a new standard for large-scale enterprises and carriers with the release of the FortiGate-3810D, the first and only firewall appliance with 100GbE interfaces and 300+ Gbps throughput. Using Fortinet's FortiASIC Network Processor 6 technology, a solution that in the past required chassis-based systems, can now be successfully achieved in an impressive appliance form-factor. The FortiGate-3810D's 3U appliance form-factor saves space and power and includes unique features such as Virtual Domain and transparent mode, allowing networks to be segmented, without having to make major modifications to your network.
Designed for large-scale enterprise data centers, carriers, service and cloud providers, the FortiGate-3810D touts scalable NP6 ASIC architecture that delivers 10x Data Center and 5x Next Generation performance for any enterprise office. The latest FortiASIC network processors triple the typical range of top-end appliances previously only achievable with costly chassis solutions while also eliminating traffic bottlenecks that cause latency and slow productivity. In addition, the custom ASIC architecture also enables FortiGate network security appliances to reduce power consumption and TCO.
“The data center spent 10 years moving from 1G to 10G – the move to 100G will happen much faster. Firewalls have traditionally been bottlenecks slowing down the move to larger, next- generation data centers,” said Rajesh Maurya, Country Manager, India & SAARC, Fortinet.
In addition, flexible and easy-to-use software options enable advanced security functions such as intrusion prevention, application control, advanced threat protection and web filtering to be switched on, providing integrated security and additional protection. The FortiGate-3810D will be available in Q4.
