FortiMail-2000

Features: Fortinet has expanded and enhanced its FortiMail secure messaging appliances with the announcement of FortiMail-2000, a new secure messaging appliance targeted at very large enterprises, universities and managed security service providers (MSSPs).

The FortiMail-2000 system includes four-gigabit ethernet ports to meet the antispam requirements of large enterprises and MSSPs without adversely affecting network performance. The new mail system has six 120 GB hot-swappable hard disk drives, supports configurable RAID-based storage and includes the performance capability to scan 6.8 million emails daily.
