Fortinet FortiGate 310B Firewall Network Security

The evolution of network security threats has driven the expansion of security products to include multiple threat recognition systems within a single appliance. Unified Threat Management systems from Fortinet include firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, antivirus, antimalware, antispam and web content filtering to identify numerous types of threats from a single device. While the ease of use of UTM products has created a prolific adoption trend, administrators still struggle with limited physical deployment options due to the available throughput and port density of mid-range devices.

The Power of Network Segmentation

The FortiGate-310B/-311B series appliances answer the call of growing enterprise networks by integrating a purpose-built security processing ASIC, known as the FortiASIC Network Processor, into the FortiGate system to deliver security throughput at switching speeds. Eight hardware-accelerated interfaces (expandable to 12) allow networks to enforce firewall policy between network segmentation points for layered security with switch-like performance. An additional purpose-built ASIC, known as the FortiASIC Content Processor provides additional acceleration for content-intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention and antivirus scanning. The inclusion of modular expansion slots allows 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.
