FORTIGATE-5000 SERIES

FortiGate-5000 series chassis-based security platforms offer the ultimate in performance, flexibility, reliability, and scalability for large enterprises and service providers. With multiple slots, the FortiGate-5000 series is designed to be the cornerstone of high-performance security infrastructures. The FortiGate-5000 series is ideal for high-speed multi-threat security gateways, managed security services, and complex security zoning applications. Support for high-density Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10-GbE interfaces provides tremendous flexibility and throughput scalability, while integration with Fortinet's centralized management and centralized reporting solutions provides comprehensive control of large-scale deployments.

FortiGate-5000 Series Benefits

  • Maximum expandability and configuration flexibility from the chassis-blade design.
  • AdvancedTCA™ architecture delivers carrier-grade performance, reliability, availability, and serviceability.
  • Supports ultra-high throughput with hardware-accelerated GbE and 10-GbE Ethernet ports.
  • Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans minimize single-point failures.
  • Active/active and active/passive high availability modes for uninterrupted service.
  • Available FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer integration simplifies security management, reporting, and analysis while reducing operating expenses.
  • FortiGuard Subscription Services deliver automated, real-time, and up-to-date protection against security threats and exploits.
  • Segment networks by customer, business unit, or any other logical division for more control using virtual domains (VDOMs); ideal for virtualized infrastructure.
  • Complement or upgrade existing security infrastructure by enabling only the services needed in integrated, all-in-one security blades.
  • Design the exact mix of multi-threat security, load-balancing, and high-speed networking required to support organizational security requirements.

Together, Riverbed and Fortinet address the need that enterprises have to secure their data; accelerate the performance of applications running on wide area networks (WANs); and reduce IT infrastructure complexity and costs. Implementation of two market-leading technologies such as WDS solutions from Riverbed and Fortinet's ASIC-accelerated integrated security appliances should meet this need while instilling confidence in enterprise companies of all scales.
