Fortinet FortiGate 1500D-DC
High Performance Next Generation/Edge Firewall for the Enterprise

Overview:

Every day you’re on the lookout for sophisticated attacks designed to penetrate your organization and steal valuable information. At the same time, you need to increase network speeds and capacities to accommodate the proliferation of consumer-grade applications and devices. To adequately defend against threats across such a broad range of applications and devices — without slowing down your network — you need a high performance next generation/edge firewall (NGFW) appliance for deep inspection, visibility and control.

Breakthrough Performance

The FortiGate 1500D and 1500D-DC high performance next generation/edge firewalls deliver best-in-class performance with an exceptional 80 Gbps of firewall and 11 Gbps of next generation threat protection. Custom hardware, including the latest FortiASIC™ NP6 processors, and the consolidated security features of the FortiOS™ 5 network security platform make the difference in enabling protection of your applications and network without affecting availability or performance.

Features & Benefits

• Industry-leading 5x next generation firewall performance and 10x data center firewall
• NSS Labs Recommended NGFW and NGIPS delivers top-rated protection
• Integrated high port density delivers maximum flexibility and scalability
• Intuitive management interface enables broad and deep visibility and control
• Application control plus identity and device-based policy enforcement provides more granular protection

Features & Benefits:

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 at the core of data networks. The FortiGate 1500D and FG-1500D-DC provide high 10 GE port densities, simplifying network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity.
