Fortinet introduces FortiGate-3600A

Fortinet has announced the availability of its FortiGate-3600A appliance. The
FortiGate-3600A also offers increased deployment flexibility by including
additional ports and slots that can be leveraged for wide area network
interfaces. Competitive multi-threat security appliances typically offer 30 to
50 percent less firewall throughput than what can now be offered by the
FortiGate-3600A.

In addition to higher performance, customers are demanding integrated WAN
connectivity with their security devices. The FortiGate-3600A includes expansion
slots that provide deployment flexibility via standard-based AMC network adaptor
modules, enabling customers to adapt to a variety of WAN technologies and future
internal network technologies such as 10-GigE. The use of AMC expansion modules
is in line with Fortinet's commitment towards designs that are based on
industry-wide hardware standards, including ATCA and MicroTCA, which offer
flexibility and cost efficiencies to the end user.

Besides accommodating customer's increasing need for higher-speed security
solutions, the FortiGate-3600A delivers a number of 'industry firsts'
through new features and benefits that include Fortinet's next generation
Content Processor-6 (CP-6) FortiASIC that increases content inspection
performance, delivering improvements of 50 percent for firewall as well as
boosting the performance of content processing functions. The

FortiGate-3600A is Fortinet's first system to incorporate its next
generation FortiASIC, which, over time, will be included in all Fortinet
products. FortiGate-3600A is available now through Fortinet's global network
of channel partners. The price of the product is 25 lakh and the product is
already available in India
