Security Processing Modules Features & Benefits

Fortinet security processing modules provide multi-gigabit throughput increases for intrusion prevention, firewall, and IP multicast applications. All models are based on the carrier-class Advanced Mezzanine Card™ (AMC) specification used in enterprise-class FortiGate multi-threat security platforms. The ADM-XE2 is a double-width AMC module for 10-Gigabit Ethernet networks. The ADM-FE8 is an SFP-based double-width AMC module for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The ASM-CE4 is a single-width AMC module for 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks. Fortinet security processing modules work to increase overall system performance by offloading select security applications and network processing functions from the FortiGate host system while maintaining all the benefits of a unified security platform.
