Fortinet FortiGate 900D
High Performance Enterprise Firewall for Large Branch Offices

Hardware:

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 ultra-low latency down to 3 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

10 GE Connectivity

High speed connectivity is essential for network security segmentation. The FortiGate 900D provides 10 GE slots that simplify 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 general-purpose CPUs, causing a dangerous performance gap
• FortiASIC processors provide the performance needed to block emerging threats, meet rigorous third-party certifications, and ensure that your network security solution does not become a network bottleneck
