Fortinet FortiGate 1500DT
High Performance Next Generation/Edge Firewall for the Enterprise

Overview:

Every day you’re on the lookout for sophisticated attacks designed to penetrate your organization and steal valuable information. At the same time, you need to increase network speeds and capacities to accommodate the proliferation of consumer-grade applications and devices. To adequately defend against threats across such a broad range of applications and devices — without slowing down your network — you need a high performance next generation/edge firewall (NGFW) appliance for deep inspection, visibility and control.

Breakthrough Performance

The FortiGate 1500DT high performance next generation/edge firewall delivers best-in-class performance with an exceptional 80 Gbps of firewall and superior next generation threat protection. Custom hardware, including the latest FortiASIC™ NP6 processors, and the consolidated security features of the FortiOS™ 5 network security platform make the difference in enabling protection of your applications and network without affecting availability or performance.

Powered by FortiASICs

• Custom FortiASIC™ 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
• FortiASIC processors pr ovide 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 FortiASIC NP6 network processor works inline with FortiOS functions delivering:

• Superior firewall performance for IPv4/IPv6, SCTP and multicast traf fic with ultra-low latency down to 3 microseconds
• VPN, CAPWAP and IP tunnel acceleration
• Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum of fload and packet defragmentation
• Traf fic shaping and priority queuing

Content Processor

The FortiASIC CP8 content processor works outside of the direct flow of traffic, providing high-speed cryptography and content inspection services including:

• Signature-based content inspection acceleration
• Encryption and decryption offloading

10 GE Connectivity

High speed connectivity is essential for network security segmentation. The FortiGate 800D provides 10 GE slots that simplify network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity.
