With the new year upon them, now might be a good time for businesses to reassess their content protection efforts against hidden threats. If their current initiatives are not as complete and rock solid as they could be, there's no time like the present to seek out a Fortinet reseller. That's because such a reseller can help them secure all the latest advancement Fortinet offers.
Among its most recent accomplishments, Fortinet has put out a new FortiGate security blade. As eWeek explained in announcing this firewall blade, "The company (Fortinet) stresses performance and other capabilities in its new FortiGate security blade that's aimed at managed security service providers and large data centers." Business that fall under one of these categories can learn more about the blade and whether it fits their needs by consulting a Fortinet reseller.
What can they expect to experience during such a Fortinet reseller consultation? According to the eWeek article, the new FortiGate 5001C blade delivers:
- Up to 40G bps of firewall throughput
- Up to 17G bps of IP security throughput
- 8G bps of IPS performance
- 128GB of storage
It also affords seamless integration of "security functions such as a next-generation firewall, virtual private network and application control in a blade." Putting all these parameters in more simple layman's terms, ITWorld Canada explains, "The 5001C security blade has faster network and content processors than the less expensive blade in the lineup, plus more memory."
But all of those extras mean nothing if mid-size and large business owners can't count of it being secure as well. Despite the blade's more affordable price point, they need not worry that they'll be sacrificing any of the unparalleled security they've come to expect from the Fortinet brand.
In fact, a Fortinet reseller can outline all of the protective benefits of the 5001C security blade. Among these benefits, according to ITWorld, are:
- Next-generation firewall functionality
- Application control
- IPS (intrusion protection)
- Improved firewall throughput for small packets
- Faster antivirus and SSL-VPN throughput
- Support of 64,000 IPSec VPN tunnels or a maximum 20,000 concurrent SSL-VPN users
Ask any Fortinet reseller and they'll tell you that it is content protection technology like this that has allowed Fortinet to gain marketplace position on network security appliance leader Cisco. A recent press release issued on behalf of the company's strong showing pointed out that Fortinet "posted double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in the network security appliance market for the third quarter of 2012, gaining market share" not only on Cisco but also on Juniper Networks as well.
The PR's spokesperson, John Grady, research manager for security products at IDC, explained, "Fortinet continues to do well across the board, especially in more distributed enterprise environments, where their broad product line-up addresses multiple segments of the network."
Managed security service providers and large data centers wanting to improve their firewall, virtual private network (VPN), unified threat management, intrusion detection system, intrusion prevention system (IPS) and/or web and messaging security in 2013 are encouraged to schedule a meeting with a Fortinet reseller to discuss what the company has to offer in the way of the latest content protection against hidden threats.
