FortiGate-300E Hardware plus 1 Year 8x5 FortiCare and FortiGuard Unified (UTM) Protection

New FortiGate 300E and 500E – Redefines Next Generation Firewalls

Organizations require a robust and extensible Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) solution designed to address this new security landscape. Fortinet is tackling these challenges head on with the release of the FortiGate 300E and 500E NGFW appliances.

Some of the specific security requirements met by the FortiGate 300E and 500E appliances include:

Fast and Agile

The FortiGate 300E and 500E firewalls are incredibly fast. The secret is Fortinet’s purpose-built CP9 content processor and parallel path processing that significantly outmatch competing products that are based on off-the-shelf components, to deliver best-in-class threat protection and SSL inspection performance. It also includes innovative collaborative learning capabilities, giving it the ability to share information and workloads with other security devices and systems in the same network, while also remaining visible and manageable through a single pane-of-glass for communications and control. This enables organizations to detect and block malevolent content before it can attach itself to vulnerable assets.

Security Efficacy

Advanced threat protection is critical in stopping zero-day exploits. FortiGuard Labs has repeatedly demonstrated its thought leadership in this critical area, and continues to excel in third-party tests (see below). In addition, with Cloud FortiSandbox seamlessly integrated into the FortiGate 300E and 500 firewalls, organizations have the ability to activate sandboxing to quickly and easily detect unknown threats.

SD-WAN Ready

The FortiGate 300E and 500E appliances deliver capabilities that meet new requirements driven by the transformation of branch network traffic and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application utilization. Specifically, they include key networking features such as an efficient wide area network (WAN) Path Controller and a dynamic SaaS-based database that enables secure SD-WAN.

Price-Performance Advantages

Price-performance is an important requirement for nearly every organization today. This means that a solution must deliver maximum threat protection performance, reliability, and manageability at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO). To this end, the FortiGate 500E delivers 10GbE connectivity with 4.7 Gbps threat protection and 6.8 Gbps SSL inspection throughput. Pound for pound, this is the best price-performance capability on the market today.
