Fortinet FortiGate 3700D-DC
High Performance Data Center Firewall

Features:

Network Processor

Fortinet’s new, breakthrough FortiASIC NP6 network processor works inline with FortiOS functions delivering:

• Superior firewall performance for IPv4/IPv6, SCTP and multicast traffic with ultralow latency down to 2 microseconds
• VPN, CAPWAP and IP tunnel acceleration
• Anomaly-based intrusion prevention, checksum offload and packet defragmentation
• Traffic shaping and priority queuing

Content Processor

The FortiASIC CP8 content processor works outside of the direct flow of traffic, providing high-speed cryptography and content inspection services including:

• Signature-based content inspection acceleration
• Encryption and decryption offloading

40-GbE Connectivity for Core Infrastructure

High speed connectivity is essential for network security segmentation at the core of data networks. The FortiGate-3700D provides one of the highest 40-GbE and 10-GbE port densities in the market, simplifying network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity.

Powered by FortiASICs

• Custom FortiASIC™ processors deliver the power you need to detect malicious content at multi-Gigabit speeds
• Other security technologies cannot protect against today’s wide range of content- and connection-based threats because they rely on generalpurpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap
• FortiASIC processors provide the performance needed to block emerging threats, meet rigorous thirdparty certifications, and ensure that your network security solution does not become a network bottleneck

Deployments:

Next-Generation Perimeter Security

Firewalls alone aren't enough to block today's blended threats and attacks. Data centers require multi-layered security technologies that examine entire packet flows, from content inspection through re-assembly, to stop threats at the perimeter. The FortiGate-3700D offers critical perimeter security protection without compromising performance and scalability.

Data Center Core Security

Today's high-speed data centers require not only perimeter security but also network protection between various network segments at the core. The FortiGate-3700D meets the requirement as a security gateway with superior next generation firewall performance and features. High density 10G interfaces allow connectivity between the segments without the need of bridging devices.

MSSP Solution

The FortiGate-3700D delivers comprehensive security for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). The full suite of Fortinet integrated management applications — including granular reporting features — offer unprecedented visibility into the security posture of customers while identifying their highest risks.

Software Features:

FortiOS Dashboard - Single Pane of Glass Management

Unique Visibility and Control

FortiOS allows greater traffic visibility and more consistent, granular control over users, devices, applications and sensitive data. Dashboard widgets allow you to quickly view and understand real-time network activities and threat situations.

Ease of Use

FortiOS lowers operational costs and reduces IT staff workload. Single pane of glass management and centralized analysis ensure consistent policy creation and enforcement while minimizing deployment and configuration challenges.

Comprehensive Systems Integration

Integration with external systems are possible with wide range of interfacing protocols support and certified solution partners. You can rely on facilities such as SNMP, sFlow and syslog for monitoring purposes. Integration with provisioning systems and custom portals is possible with Web Service APIs via FortiManager. Scripting using various scripting languages is supported by manipulating CLI commands.

Proven with Industry Validation

FortiGate holds more industry certifications than competitive products, assuring feature quality and providing you best-of-breed protection.

Robust Virtual Systems

FortiOS Virtual Domains (VDOMs) is proven method of dividing a FortiGate unit/cluster into two or more virtual units that function as independent units. It has the industry’s most comprehensive virtualization capabilities to meet today’s complex MSSP deployments.

Identity Centric Enforcement

FortiOS supports both local and remote authentication services such as LDAP, RADIUS and TACACS+ to identify users and apply appropriate access policies and security profiles accordingly. It can simplify identity based implementations and provide a seamless user authorization experience with single sign-on capabilities. FortiOS has strong PKI and certificate-based authentication services while also integrating an internal two factor authentication server for additional security.

Extensive Network Support

FortiOS meets numerous network design requirements. A wealth of routing, multicasting and network resiliency protocols are supported for interoperating with other networking devices.

Superior IPS capabilities

Over 4000 IPS signatures enables you to stop attacks that evade more conventional firewalls. Behavior-based heuristics recognize zero day threats for which no signature has been created.

Application Control

Advanced application control lets you define and enforce policies for thousands of applications running across networks regardless of port or the protocol used for communication.

Powerful Policy Management

Two types of policy management views - global and section view - are available to suit your preferences. Policy objects can be easily edited from the policy table. Available management features include policy object search, tagging, sorting and filtering.

With FortiManager integration, you have the ability to set up sophisticated policy implementation and provisioning workflows to meet compliance or operational requirements. FortiAnalyzer enables complete and accurate configuration audit trails to reside externally for secured storage.

Flexible Role-based Administration

Access profiles can be defined to provide granular access to VDOMs and system functionalities. This is valuable in facilitating compliant enterprise-class security operation workflows.

Beyond Next Generation Firewall Capabilities

FortiOS supports various value-adding components to the network that is unique in the market. This includes in-box token server, wireless controller and vulnerability scanner. These features simplify network design and deployment while also providing more secure implementations without incurring additional cost.

Broad IPv6 Support

Maintaining security for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic will be crucial to the success of mixed networks. Malware and network threats are independent of IPv4 or IPv6. FortiOS is able to use IPv6 security policies to provide access control and UTM protection for IPv6 traffic. FortiOS has been successfully evaluated as compliant with core protocol and interoperability tests defined by IPv6 Ready Logo Phase 2.

World-Class Technical Support and Documentation

Fortinet FortiCare support offerings provide comprehensive global support for all Fortinet products and services. You can rest assured your Fortinet security products are performing optimally and protecting your users, applications, and data around the clock.
