FORTIMAIL-5001A

The FortiMail-5001A is a proven, powerful messaging security platform for carriers, service providers, and large enterprises. Purpose-built for the most demanding messaging systems, the FortiMail-5001A blade utilizes Fortinet's years of experience in protecting global enterprises, carriers and service providers from spam, malware, and other message-borne threats. The FortiMail-5001A can process up to 1.1 million emails per hour with full antivirus and antispam filtering, protecting high volume messaging systems without affecting performance.

The FortiMail-5001A integrates quickly and easily with chassis-based FortiGate-5000 series multi-threat security systems, and other 3rd party ATCA chassis. The range of policy monitoring, reporting, and enforcement options gives you the ability to manage your policies down to individual employees or subscribers. FortiMail's outbound inspection technology prevents outbound spam or malware (including 3G mobile traffic), from causing other antispam gateways to blacklist your subscribers protecting your domain's reputation and service delivery.

Not only is the volume of email traffic rising but with it, the complexity of malware with the presence of blended threats combining spam, viruses, worms and spyware. To help ensure optimum service and security for our customers, we needed an effective multi-layered solution that combined antivirus, anti-spam and anti-spyware technologies in one appliance. FortiMail met our performance requirements while providing ease-of-use and management to our IT team which is essential as we do not have the time or resources to deploy and maintain separate point solutions.
