Overview:
The FortiGate-40C and FortiWiFi-40C are ideal for small businesses, small branch offices and retail outlets requiring the consolidated security functions of larger FortiGate devices in a small form factor. The appliances deliver enterprise-grade network security and performance to smaller locations at an entry-level price.
FortiGate-40C Features & Benefits:
- 200 Mbps performance delivers fast throughput for high-bandwidth deployments.
- Multi-threat protection, including firewall, application control, IPS, antivirus, antispyware, antispam, VPN, web filtering, application control, and data leakage prevention for comprehensive protection for small businesses, retail locations and branch office environments.
- One WAN interface and four internal switch ports offer two security zones for policy enforcement at remote sites
- Unlimited user licensing minimizes operating costs and ensures that changes in the number of users does not interfere with network availability
- 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
The FortiGate-40C and FortiWiFi-40C appliances combine the purpose-built FortiOS™ 4.0 operating system with the Fortinet System on a Chip (SoC) purpose-built processor to deliver unmatched security and performance advantages. These devices feature all of Fortinet's unified threat management (UTM) inspection capabilities; firewall, IPS, application control, VPN, and web filtering - all managed from a 'single pane of glass' console. They also include other security technologies such as data leakage prevention, vulnerability management, and WAN optimization. You can deploy security technologies as needed for your unique requirements.
The FortiGate-40C and FortiWiFi-40C provide you with a strategic and cost-effective solution that you can provision and manage from anywhere in the world. The appliances capitalize on multiple security enforcement technologies to protect your remote networks in today's sophisticated threat landscape, helping you maintain compliance with PCI, HIPAA, and GLBA regulations for data protection.
By consolidating multiple security technologies into a single appliance, the FortiGate-40C and FortiWiFi-40C eliminate multiple hardware devices and software solutions, greatly simplifying security at small offices, branch offices and retail locations while substantially reducing total cost of ownership. Installation and configuration is made easy with FortiExplorer setup wizard. The wizard provides an easy, inexpensive way to configure the initial settings for the FortiGate unit, enabling non-IT staff to set up the device for remote management in a few minutes.
FortiGate Consolidated Security Solutions
Fortinet's consolidated security solutions provide an integrated set of core security and networking services in a single, easy-to-manage, high-performance appliance that is capable of supporting a wide range of deployment scenarios. Consolidating stand-alone security products into a single device allows you to improve your network visibility and increase control over users, applications, and data.
The Fortinet Systemon-a-Chip
The FortiGate-40C and FortiWiFi-40C devices include the Fortinet System-on-a-chip (SoC). Designed by Fortinet to provide real-time network protection, the SoC integrates FortiASIC security acceleration logic with a RISC-based main processor and other system components. This simplifies appliance design and delivers breakthrough performance for smaller networks. The FortiGate/FortiWiFi-40C series appliances enable large distributed enterprises to provide integrated, multi-threat protection across all points on their network without sacrificing performance.
