FORTINET ACCELERATED INTERFACE MODULES

Interface Options for Fortinet Appliances

Fortinet accelerated interface modules increase the flexibility of FortiGate® and FortiCarrier™ platforms with 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit (GbE) Ethernet interface Options. They also provide additional security performance for the platforms, adding wire-speed firewall and near wire-speed IPSec VPN security for traffic traversing the module's ports.

The embedded FortiASIC™ Network Processors (NP) is what makes the modules' increases in performance possible. By performing firewall and IPSec VPN security functions at the interface level, modules relieve processing overhead from the host system, freeing resources for other functions.

Module Benefits

  • Incremental firewall and IPSec VPN performance beyond the base system capacity, delivering additional scalability to meet increased traffic demands
  • Increased port density allows greater flexibility in accommodating changes in the network design

We have evaluated security solutions from various vendors but very few had solutions specifically tailored to the needs of MSSPs. The ability of the FortiGate solution to virtually segment each customer's connection and customize its configuration and profile to access all or several of the security applications we offer was decisive in our choice. FortiGate's multi-threat security platform is definitely a great option for large data center deployments such as ours.
