Product Description
Fortinet FortiGate 100E – Enterprise Network Security
The Fortinet FortiGate 100E is a next-generation firewall appliance designed to provide secure, high-performance network connectivity for businesses and branch-office environments.
With multiple Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the FG-100E provides flexible connectivity for WAN, LAN, management, DMZ and high-availability deployments. In addition, its hardware acceleration architecture uses Fortinet’s SOC3, NP6Lite and CP9Lite technologies to accelerate supported network and security processing.
Most importantly, the FortiGate 100E offers up to 7.4 Gbps firewall throughput. Furthermore, Fortinet publishes up to 500 Mbps IPS throughput, 360 Mbps NGFW throughput and 250 Mbps threat-protection throughput. These are maximum published figures, so actual performance can vary depending on configuration and enabled security services.
