NP Direct

By removing the Internal Switch Fabric, the NP Direct architecture provides direct access to the SPU-NP for the lowest latency forwarding. NGFW deployments require some attention to network design to ensure optimal use of this technology.

Powered by SPU

• Custom SPU processors deliver the power you need to detect malicious content at multi-Gigabit speeds
• Other security technologies cannot protect against today's wide range of content- and connection-based threats because they rely on general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap
• SPU processors provide the performance needed to block emerging threats, meet rigorous third-party certifications, and ensure that your network security solution does not become a network bottleneck

Network Processor

Fortinet's new, breakthrough SPU NP6 network processor works inline with FortiOS functions delivering:

• Superior firewall performance for IPv4/IPv6, SCTP and multicast traffic with ultra-low latency down to 2 microseconds
• VPN, CAPWAP and IP tunnel acceleration
• Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum offload and packet defragmentation
• Traffic shaping and priority queuing

Content Processor

Fortinet's new, breakthrough SPU CP9 content processor works outside of the direct flow of traffic and accelerates the inspection of computationally intensive security features:

• Enhanced IPS performance with unique capability of full signature matching at ASIC
• SSL Inspection capabilities based on the latest industry mandated cipher suites
• Encryption and decryption offloading

10 GE Connectivity

High speed connectivity is essential for network security segmentation at the core of data networks. The FortiGate 2500E provides high 10 GE port densities, simplifying network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity.
