Fortinet disrupts the network firewall
marketplace with unprecedented scale
and performance
ortinet, a global leader in broad,
F
integrated and automated
cybersecurity solutions, has
announced another milestone in its
ability to deliver the industry’s highest
performance. Powered by NP7, the
seventh generation of Fortinet’s custombuilt
network processor, FortiGate 4200F,
is specifically engineered to deliver the
scalability and performance required for
the networks of today and tomorrow.
John Maddison, EVP of Products and
CMO at Fortinet, said: “In recent weeks,
the lack of performance and scalability
of integrated firewall and VPN solutions
has challenged organisations when
scaling their secure remote access
initiatives. Organisations deploying
traditional firewalls cannot scale
across multiple applications and have
been forced to upgrade or even install
completely separate appliances. With
10 times the performance at the same
price, the FortiGate 4200F powered
by our seventh generation Network
Processor (NP7) sets a new paradigm
in network security performance. Our
ability to deliver the highest performing
firewalls on the market means customers
can either scale far beyond their
expectations at the same price point
of competitors or spend less to get the
performance they need. Either way, our
customers win.”
Organisations need to be able to
expand and adapt their network security
to changing business conditions
at a moment’s notice. Whether an
organisation is retooling their network
to suddenly support a remote workforce
or embracing digital innovation,
performance and scalability are key.
Unfortunately, most security solutions
John Maddison, EVP of Products and
CMO at Fortinet
are simply unable to provide speed and
scale at a price that most companies
can afford. That’s because security
vendors simply have not invested in the
technology required to cost-effectively
meet the demands of today’s digital
workplace. This has forced organisations
to purchase security solutions with
minimal performance and scalability
headroom. As a result, when a critical
event occurs or the market requires
digital innovation, firewalls become a
bottleneck rather than an enabler.
To deliver security that keeps pace with
the scale and performance demands
of the new realities of today’s data
centres, Fortinet is introducing the
FortiGate 4200F, the newest addition to
its portfolio of high-end network firewalls.
As an integral part of the Fortinet
Security Fabric, FortiGate 4200F has
been specifically engineered to enable
an innovative, security-driven networking
approach that seamlessly integrates
networking with security.
FortiGate 4200F: Delivering
business outcomes
FortiGate 4200F, powered by Fortinet’s
seventh generation processor (NP7),
radically increases the speed, scale and
performance for large enterprise data
centres. The 4200F delivers the highest
performance and scale to securely
drive digital innovation and meet
the huge capacity and performance
demands of critical business operations
across a wide variety of verticals and
large enterprises including financial
services, healthcare, education,
advanced research and high-velocity
e-commerce. The following are a few
examples of FortiGate 4200F use
cases: financial services organisations
building massively scalable remote
access; large manufacturing and
energy companies managing internal
security risks; high-velocity e-retail and
e-commerce providers handling eventbased
connection bursts; advanced
pharmaceutical research, oil and gas
and government organisations that
require support for elephant flows;
cloud providers and large enterprises
that must segment massively scalable
virtual networks. u
Whether an
organisation is
retooling their network
to suddenly support
a remote workforce
or embracing
digital innovation,
performance and
scalability are key.
