Introduction
FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls improve network security, reduce network misuse and
abuse, and help you use communications resources more efficiently without
compromising the performance of your network. FortiGate Antivirus Firewalls are
ICSA-certified for firewall, IPSec, and antivirus services.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall is a dedicated easily managed security device that
delivers a full suite of capabilities that include:
• application-level services such as virus protection and content filtering,
• network-level services such as firewall, intrusion detection, VPN, and traffic
shaping.
The FortiGate Antivirus Firewall uses Fortinet’s Accelerated Behavior and Content
Analysis System (ABACAS™) technology, which leverages breakthroughs in chip
design, networking, security, and content analysis. The unique ASIC-based
architecture analyzes content and behavior in real-time, enabling key applications to
be deployed right at the network edge where they are most effective at protecting your
networks.
The FortiGate-3000 model provides the
carrier-class levels of performance and
reliability demanded by large enterprises
and service providers. The
FortiGate-3000 uses multiple CPUs and
FortiASIC chips to deliver throughput of 3Gbps, meeting the needs of the most
demanding applications. Each FortiGate-3000 unit includes redundant power supplies
to minimize single-point failures, and also supports load-balanced operation and
redundant failover with no interruption in service. The FortiGate-3000 includes three
10/100 BaseTX ports, one Gigabit ethernet port, and two Gigabit fibre ports. The high
capacity, reliability, and easy management of the FortiGate-3000 makes it a natural
choice for managed service offerings.
