Follow UsNEW DELHI: Fortinet,
provider of multi-threat security solutions, today announced to strengthen its
high-end product portfolio with new load-balancing switch and high-performance
security blades for its FortiGate-5000 series, the AdvancedTCA (ATCA)-compliant
security systems.
Targeted at telecommunication carriers, managed security service providers (MSSPs),
and large organizations with bandwidth-intensive requirements, the
FortiController-5208 switch and FortiGate-5005 security blades work together to
boost security scalability in 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networked environments.
The FortiController-5208 blade includes two 10GbE interfaces and eight 1GbE
interfaces, making it ideal for high-performance core and data center network
deployments. It also provides switch-based interconnection to distribute traffic
to other FortiGate blades and load balances between them for increased
performance and scalability.
The new FortiGate-5005 blade provides a full range of flexible network
security software modules -- including firewall, antivirus, antispyware,
intrusion prevention system (IPS), anti-spam, Web content filtering, VPN, and
traffic shaping — that can be deployed individually or in a combination of
security modules, depending on customer requirements.
FortiGate-5005 and FortiController-5208 blades work together to deliver
multi-gigabit antivirus, antispyware, firewall, VPN and intrusion prevention
system (IPS) performance and scalability.
Ken Xie, founder, president and CEO of Fortinet, said, “The strong demand
for and success of our high-end product offerings among telecommunication
carriers, MSSPs and enterprises has helped Fortinet become the fastest-growing
network security vendor in the high-end market.”
“Our new FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005ATCA blades extend the
benefits of our FortiGate-5000 Series to 10GB network environments and increase
security performance, scalability and deployment flexibility,” he added
