Fortinet has announced that as the world celebrates IPv6 Launch Day, the Fortinet FortiGate-5140Bchassis, powered by FortiGate-5101C blades, has achieved 536 Gbps of blended application and security attack traffic during an IPv6 test driven by the Breaking Point Fire Storm CTS. Telecommunication carriers, service providers, and other performance-focused enterprises that have deployed an IPv6 infrastructure can rely on Fortinet to help protect their network while helping maintain the performance they require.
Patrick Bedwell, VP, Product Marketing, Fortinet said, “IPv6 Launch Day represents a major milestone in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 as many of the world’s largest networks and content providers permanently enable IPv6 in their networks. This means that the content and services that businesses and consumers rely on every day will now be delivered via IPv6. IPv6 presents significant performance and security challenges, and this test establishes that Fortinet can help protect those networks and content with the world’s fastest IPv6 firewall.”
