fortnet16-4-14Fortinet unveiled three new high performance application delivery controllers (ADCs) for enterprise data centers and managed service providers that are designed to provide scalability and availability for Internet-based applications that reside in one or more datacenters.

The FortiADC-1500D, FortiADC-2000D and FortiADC-4000D represent an expansion of Fortinet’s Application Delivery Controller lineup and promises to deliver high performance, rich features and strong security for high-volume application environments while reducing overall total cost of ownership (TCO). Unlike competing ADC manufacturers that require additional options for advanced port connectivity, these new units include up to 16 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and up to eight high-performance 10-Gigabit SFP+ Ethernet ports at no extra cost.

FortiADC-4000D Key Features

  • 50 Gbps of L4 throughput and up to 1,600,000 L7 transactions per second for handling enterprise and data center application traffic volumes
  • 16x GE ports and 8x 10 GB SFP+ Ethernet ports provide high-throughput connectivity to eliminate network bottlenecks
  • Dedicated SSL offload hardware provides increased performance for up to 31,000 SSL connections per second
  • Dual hot-swappable power supplies provide additional redundancy by supporting separate power connections and allow power supplies to be swapped without interrupting device operations
  • A dedicated management port allows remote device control even when it’s powered down

FortiADC-2000D Key Features

  • 30 Gbps L4 throughput and up to 1,200,000 L7 transactions per second for mid-range traffic volume datacenters
  • 16x GE ports and 4x 10 GB SFP+ Ethernet ports
  • Dedicated SSL offload hardware with up to 31,000 SSL connections per second
  • Dual power supplies

FortiADC-1500D Key Features

  • 20 Gbps L4 throughput and up to 800,000 L7 transactions per second for smaller traffic volume or secondary data centers
  • 8x GE ports and 4x 10 GB SFP+ Ethernet ports
  • Dedicated SSL offload hardware with up to 14,500 SSL connections per second
  • Dual power supplies

FortiADC 4.0 Now Features IP Reputation and Virtual Domains
Today’s FortiADC OS update includes two new features; IP Reputation and Virtual Domains (VDOMs) along with other enhancements, such as GUI improvements and detailed event logging. IP Reputation is a subscription-based service offered by FortiGuard Labs that allows a FortiADC to detect and block incoming traffic from known malicious sources. The extension of IP Reputation services to FortiADC products continues Fortinet’s strategy of creating high-performance and secure application delivery products. Combined with high-capacity SSL offloading and built-in firewalls, FortiADC offers additional security features not found in other ADC appliances at these price points.
VDOMs allow managed service providers and large enterprises to provision and manage separate virtual ADCs using a single FortiADC appliance; a differentiating feature that is also found on the company’s FortiGate platform.

Availability
The FortiADC-1500D, FortiADC-2000D, FortiADC-4000D and FortiADC OS 4.0 are available now.
