Fortinet, a provider in network security and unified
threat management (UTM) solutions, announced the launch of two new consolidated
security appliances.
The new FortiGate-600C and FortiGate-1000C appliances
deliver price/performance breakthroughs that broaden UTM deployment options for
mid-sized organizations and branch offices of large enterprises that require
high-performance, highly resilient security capable of protecting critical
assets from a wide variety of threats.
This includes organizations looking to secure their
mobile users and those that wish to ensure that cloud-based data does not
transfer threats into their systems. Each appliance is suited for customers
that must protect personally identifiable information (PII) from accidental
leakage or theft. This includes credit card data as part of the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and patient data as part of Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance.
The announcement of the FortiGate-600C and
FortiGate-1000C appliances follow the recent announcement of the FortiGate-300C
appliance. Together, this suite of high performance security appliances offers
customers the power and flexibility needed for deployments in mid and large
size enterprises.
Coupled with Fortinet’s FortiClient solution, the
FortiGate-600C and FortiGate-1000C appliances will play a pivotal role in
extending high-performance virtual private networks (VPNs) to a wider range of
customers, thus ensuring secure communications between multiple networks and
hosts using SSL and IPSec VPN technologies.
“We continue to hear from midrange customers and
prospects about pushing the price/performance envelope for consolidated
security solutions that are broad in scope, easy to deploy and can be centrally
managed,” said Michael Xie, co-founder, CTO and vice president of engineering
at Fortinet.
“The introduction of the FortiGate-600C and
FortiGate-1000C appliances addresses each of these needs head on,” Xie
added.
FortiGate-600C Powered by the FortiASIC Network
Processor, the FortiGate-600C appliance delivers security throughput at switching
speeds. To maximize internal network segmentation configurations, the
FortiGate-600C provides sixteen 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports, allowing security
administrators and IT managers a wide array of deployment options.
The appliance also provides four shared 10/100/1000 RJ45
ports, a 1Gb SFP and two-pair, bypass-protected 10/100/1000 ports to
accommodate expansion options well beyond the base system configuration. In
addition, the FortiGate-600C appliance features 64GB of internal storage for
WAN optimization, local reporting, or local content archiving.
Fortinet recently announced the launch
of its FortiGate multi-threat security appliance product family.
The FortiGate-300C is specifically designed for mid-size
organizations and large enterprises with strategic branch offices requiring
optimal security protection capable of keeping pace with today’s volatile
threat landscape.
