Fortinet FortiGate-1240B

Multi-Threat Security Appliance

The evolution of network security threats is driving the design of security products to include multiple threat recognition systems within a single appliance. The FortiGate multi-threat security appliance from Fortinet are the new generation of secure gateways that fully integrate essential security and networking functions into a single device to identify and stop multiple threats effectively and efficiently. Never before has so much security functionality been consolidated into a single, high-performance device and presented at such a compelling total cost of ownership.

Hardware-Accelerated Performance with High Port Density

The FortiGate-1240B appliance raises the bar in network security devices by integrating a purpose-built processor, known as the FortiASICTM Network Processor, into the FortiGate system to deliver security throughput at switching speeds. Thirty-eight hardware accelerated ports, of the 40 total on the system, allow networks to enforce firewall policy between network segmentation points for layered security with switch-like performance. An additional purpose-built processor, known as the FortiASIC Content Processor, provides additional acceleration for content intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention and antivirus scanning. The inclusion of an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) expansion slot and Fortinet Storage Module (FSM) slots allow for even more flexibility, offering additional ASIC-accelerated ports for additional throughput or disk-based storage for local logging and content archiving. With numerous accelerated multi-threat security interfaces, organizations can create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices to enforce network security at accelerated speeds.
