performance. Today’s enterprises face
unprecedented performance demands
on their infrastructure that often cannot
be matched by existing security solutions.
For a majority of enterprises, traditional
security appliances that are built with
off-the-shelf CPUs and hardware to
process security traffic have become
an infrastructure bottleneck, resulting
in degraded user and application
experience. Simply put, yesterday’s
security performance is no longer enough
to secure and enable enterprises at the
pace of today’s business innovation.
To meet the extraordinary demands of
data centre security and enable a securitydriven
networking approach, Fortinet is
introducing the FortiGate 1800F NGFW.
