Fortinet FortiGate 100D Network Security/Firewall Appliance

Meeting the Needs of Small and Medium Enterprises and Branch Offices

Today's network security threats have evolved into highly sophisticated assaults using multiple attack vectors to penetrate networks and steal valuable information. Small and medium enterprises and remote branch offices of larger enterprises face these attacks while storing and transferring increasing amounts of sensitive data across their networks. To ensure the security of this sensitive data, legislation such as PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and others have warranted the implementation of security measures.

In order to comply with legislation and secure the valuable data traversing networks, small and medium enterprises and remote branch offices need a security solution that integrates multiple attack recognition technologies into a single device. With limited budgets and modest remote resources, these smaller networks desire a cost effective solution that is simple to install, connect and maintain. Just as importantly, networks are ever-expanding and need a solution that leaves them with room to grow over time. The FortiGate-100D is an ideal security solution for small and medium enterprises or remote branch offices of larger networks. It combines firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, application control, intrusion prevention, antivirus, antimalware, antispam, P2P security, and web filtering into a single device.

Simple, Powerful, Secure

The FortiGate-100D installs in minutes, automatically downloading regular updates to protect against the latest viruses, network vulnerabilities, worms, spam and phishing attacks, and malicious websites with no administrator intervention. Leveraging patented FortiASIC acceleration, the FortiGate-100D offers market-leading performance, with twenty-two GbE interfaces that facilitate network growth and expansion. Onboard storage provides local archiving of data for policy compliance and/or WAN Optimization. The WAN Optimization functionality increases network performance by reducing the amount of communication and data transmitted between applications and servers across a WAN.
