Fortinet, a network security provider and the worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions, launched the newest member of its FortiGate multi-threat security appliance product family. The FortiGate-300C is specifically designed for mid-sized organizations and large-scale enterprises with strategic branch offices requiring optimal security protection capable of keeping pace with today’s volatile threat landscape. The highly versatile FortiGate-300C features one of the highest port densities and price/performance ratios of any product in its class to deliver advanced firewall, VPN, application control and intrusion prevention system functionality in a single appliance.
The FortiGate-300C is powerful enough to be deployed as the main security gateway for VPN termination and application control in mid-sized enterprises when combined with Fortinet’s FortiClient software, and/or as a high-performance, multi-threat security appliance in large branch offices and remote locations requiring high-speed network connections.
Designed with eight FortiASIC-accelerated ports for maximum throughput, the new appliance delivers wire-speed firewall and IPSec VPN performance as well as application control acceleration to provide optimized security capabilities without imposing latency in high-speed network environments. For example, eight Gbps firewall throughput can support one million concurrent sessions. And with the ability to support 4.5 Gbps of IPSec throughput, 10,000 client-to-gateway and 6,000 gateway-to-gateway IPSec tunnels can be supported with a single device.
To help organizations protect their assets and network infrastructures in the face of the constantly evolving threat landscape, the eight accelerated ports on the FortiGate-300C facilitate the creation and enforcement of segmented security zones with policy control previously available only within larger-scale solutions.
The FortiGate-300C is also designed to evolve with organizations that consistently re-architect their networks for greater performance across distributed environments by integrating onboard storage for WAN optimization. In addition, the new appliance features advanced local logging and reporting capabilities that complement the optional integration with Fortinet’s FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer systems for centralized management and advanced forensics.
