Fortinet FortiGate 1200D
High Performance Data Center and Next Generation Firewall for the Enterprise

Overview:

Enterprises require a high-speed, high-capacity firewall to stay ahead of ever-increasing network performance requirements as well as continued evolution of the threat landscape, at data center and campus locations.

Eliminate Security Bottlenecks
With 52 Gbps of firewall throughput and low latency, the FortiGate 1200D represents an excellent entry model for small data centers and delivers a high-performance, high-capacity data center firewall. IPv6 parity, 10 GE ports and dramatic increases in VPN performance enable you to keep pace with your evolving network.

Deeper Visibility
At the same time, 11 Gbps of next generation threat prevention performance allows you to run top-rated intrusion prevention, application control and antimalware capabilities for deeper inspection of content, applications, user and device activity. Rich console views and reports together with a flexible policy engine provide the visibility and control to empower employees yet secure your enterprise.

Breakthrough Performance
This breakthrough performance — including 10x data center and 5x next generation performance — is made possible by custom hardware, including the latest FortiASIC™ NP6 and CP8 processors, as well as the consolidated security features of the FortiOS network security platform.

Powered by SPU

• Custom SPU 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
• SPU 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

Network Processor

Fortinet’s new, breakthrough SPU 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 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 SPU 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 1200D provides 10 GE slots that simplify network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity.
