Fortinet FortiGate 1500D
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 consumergrade 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 high performance next generation/edge firewall delivers 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.

Deeper Visibility

With powerful intrusion prevention, application control and antimalware intelligence, the FortiGate-1500D allows you to look deeper into your content, applications, user and device behavior. Rich console views and reports together with a flexible policy engine provide the visibility and control you need to empower employees yet secure your enterprise.

Next Generation Visibility and Control

• Powerful application and threat inspection
• Breakthrough performance, and superior cost per gigabit protected
• User- and device-based views and policies
• Freedom to add more functions like Advanced Threat
• Protection and Secure Web Gateway
• FortiOS 5, the most complete, battletested set of security functions to protect your network and data

Features & Benefits:

• Next Generation Threat Protection - Intrusion prevention, application control and antimalware provide superior visibility and protection over traditional firewalls
• High Performance Next Generation Firewall - Up to 11 Gbps IPS performance
• Custom FortiASIC NP6 processors - The latest in purpose-built processors enable best in class performance and superior cost per gigabit protected
• High Speed, High Density Ports - 8 x 10-GbE and 16 x GbE ports support evolving network requirements and avoid security bottlenecks
• Actionable console and reporting - Provides administrators and executives the visibility they need to define and enforce appropriate policies

• 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

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 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

10GE Connectivity for Core Infrastructure

High speed connectivity is essential for network security segmentation at the core of data networks. The FortiGate-1500D provides high 10GE port densities, simplifying network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge desired connectivity

Highlights

FortiOS — The World’s Most Advanced Security Operating System

• Feature Select Instantly fine-tunes the FortiGate based on desired deployment needs using feature presets. Simplifies user administration and configurations while providing flexibility for different deployment modes.
• Contextual Visibility Presents critical deep insights into historic or real-time network activities with data on threat details, IPs, users, devices, applications and more. Allows administrators to quickly understand threats and stop them.
• Advanced Security Multiple advanced technologies can be coordinated to look for and stop today’s blended, targeted or unknown attacks. Efficient packet handling improves performance while lowering latencies and reducing network complexities.
