Fortinet FortiGate 1000C
Accelerated, Proven Security for the Enterprise

Overview:

The FortiGate-1000C integrates essential security and networking functions into a single device to help identify and thwart multiple threats for mid-sized organizations and large branch offices of large enterprises. With numerous accelerated multi-threat security interfaces, organizations can create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices to enforce network security at accelerated speeds.

By intercepting and inspecting network traffic at wire speeds, the FortiGate-1000C helps you identify and remove threats hidden within legitimate application traffic. With firewall performance of 20 Gbps and IPS throughput of 3.5 Gbps, the FortiGate- 1000C is ideal for mid-to-large enterprise deployments. The FortiGate-1000C delivers the performance you need to control your organization's applications, data, and users without becoming a network bottleneck.

FortiGate-1000C Features & Benefits:

• Up to 20 Gbps firewall performance and sub-10 microsecond latency ensures optimal performance for latency sensitive environments
• Advanced application control that enables administrators to define and enforce policies for thousands of applications running across networks regardless of port or the protocol used for communication
• Virtual private network (VPN) technology enforces complete content inspection and multi-threat protection. Traffic optimization prioritizes critical communications traversing VPN tunnels
• Data leakage prevention uses a sophisticated pattern-matching engine to help identify and prevent the transfer of sensitive information outside of network perimeters, even when applications encrypt their communications
• Available FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliances simplify security management and reduce operating expenses in multiple deployments
• FortiGuard Subscription Services deliver automated, real-time, up-to-date protection against security threats and exploits.

The Power of Unified Threat Management (UTM)

The FortiGate-1000C security platform delivers industry-leading performance and flexibility. You can deploy the right blend of essential hardware-accelerated security technologies now and in the future to meet your evolving network requirements. These technologies include firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, application control, and web content filtering, all managed from a 'single pane of glass' management console. The FortiGate-1000C also includes additional security technologies such as antivirus/ antimalware, antispam, vulnerability management, and WAN optimization, allowing you to consolidate stand-alone devices.

The FortiGate-1000C gives you the ability to identify and stop numerous types of threats from a single device. For example, advanced application control enables you to define and enforce policies for thousands of applications running across your network, regardless of port or protocol used. Data leakage prevention technology, using a sophisticated pattern-matching engine, helps identify and prevent the accidental or intentional transfer of sensitive information outside of network perimeters, even when applications encrypt their communications.

The high port density and types of ports of the FortiGate-1000C gives you the freedom to create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices. There are eight (8) shared RJ-45/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports for deployment flexibility, as well as two (2) bypass-protected port to preserve network availability in the event of a device failure. In addition, 128 GB of onboard flash memory lets you deploy WAN optimization to reduce bandwidth consumption across your WAN connection, enable local reporting, or archive content locally.

Features & Benefits:

FortiOS 4.0 Software Redefines Networks Security

FortiOS 4.0 is a purpose-built operating system that leverages the power of specialized FortiASIC hardware to offer increased levels of security and performance. Fortinet developed FortiOS 4.0 software solely for the FortiGate multi-threat security platform. FortiOS software enables a comprehensive suite of security services – firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, antimalware, antispam, web filtering, application control, data loss prevention, vulnerability management, and end point network access control.

The FortiASIC Advantage

FortiASIC is the foundation of Fortinet’s unique hardware technology. FortiASIC is a family of purpose built, high-performance network and content processors that uses an intelligent proprietary content scanning engine and multiple algorithms to accelerate compute-intensive security services. FortiASIC provides the performance required to deliver enterprise and carrier-class UTM services. Coupled with the FortiOS security hardened Operating System, FortiASIC delivers extreme performance and security.

Technical Specifications:

All performance values are "up to" and vary depending on system configuration. Antivirus performance is benchmarked using traffic containing 32 Kbyte HTTP objects. IPS performance measured using 44 Kbyte HTTP files (similar to NSS Labs test methodology)
