FortiGate-3600A UTM System

Features: Multi-threat security solutions provider Fortinet has set a new

industry standard for high performance, multi-threat security with the

announcement of its FortiGate-3600A appliance.








The FortiGate-3600A also offers increased deployment flexibility by including
additional ports and slots that can be leveraged for wide area network

interfaces.






Fortinet said in a statement that the adoption of multi-threat security
appliances among enterprises, mobile carriers and MSSPs is rapidly growing, with

performance, ease of administration, deployment flexibility and cost

efficiencies as major drivers. However, increased data traffic and malicious

blended attacks are forcing IT administrators to continually struggle with

bandwidth scalability and network performance.






The integration of Fortinet's next generation FortiASIC Content Processor and
new system components boost performance up to 50 per cent and make the

FortiGate-3600A the fastest multi-security appliance in the industry, the

statement said.






Competitive multi-threat security appliances typically offer 30 to 50 per cent
less firewall throughput than what can now be offered by the FortiGate-3600A.
