Fortinet FortiGate 1240B Network Security/Firewall Appliance

Complex Security Threats are Driving Consolidation

The evolution of network security threats is driving the consolidation of multiple threat recognition systems into a single appliance. FortiGate consolidated security appliances from Fortinet 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 appliance at such a low total cost of ownership.

Hardware-Accelerated Performance with High Port Density

The FortiGate-1240B appliance raises the bar for network security devices by integrating purpose-built FortiASIC™ processors. The FortiASIC Network Processor accelerates thirty-eight of forty total ports on the system to switching speeds, allowing networks to enforce firewall policies between network segmentation points for layered security with switch-like performance. In addition, the FortiASIC Content Processor provides acceleration for content intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention (IPS) and antivirus scanning.

Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) and Fortinet Storage Module (FSM) expansion slots provide the option to add even more ASIC-accelerated ports for additional throughput, or disk-based storage for local logging and content archiving. Numerous accelerated security interfaces allow organizations to create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices to enforce network security at switching speeds.
