Fortinet’s next-gen firewall redefines Data Center Security
Fortinet has long been at the forefront of data center security, and on January 2, the company announced the latest addition to its arsenal: the FortiGate 6001F. This innovative next-gen firewall is designed to meet the changing infrastructure dynamic facing the modern data center, providing greater performance, protection, inspection, and concurrent sessions and connections across the board—at less than half the industry’s average price point.
Tailored for data center core and edge deployments, this innovative solution also introduces a revolutionary pay-as-you-grow model that aligns seamlessly with the demands of contemporary cybersecurity, allowing you to pay for the performance you need now and quickly scale as your data center demands evolve.
The FortiGate 6001F, however, is just one piece of our comprehensive data center firewall portfolio, which includes the FG-1000F Series, FG-1800F Series, FG-2600 Series, FG-3200F Series, FG-3500F Series, FG-3700F Series, FG-4000F Series, FG-6300F Series, FG-6500F Series, and FG-7000F Series. Each of these models is engineered to provide top-tier threat protection and a multitude of ports to meet the unique demands of your data center.
Data centers are no longer the isolated and centralized information hubs of the organization. Today’s data centers are often distributed and flexible, enabling applications, systems, and users to access critical information in real time to quickly respond to the demands of today’s digital markets. And increasingly, hybrid data centers span physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Adaptability, reliability, and scalability are paramount in this rapidly evolving environment. Traditional cybersecurity solutions struggle to keep pace with the exponential growth of data and applications and AI’s game-changing impact on the threat landscape.
Fortinet understands the challenges enterprises and security architects face in securing their dynamic data centers, with modern hybrid mesh firewalls playing a critical role in ensuring consistent, end-to-end security across even the most dynamic data center deployments. With our broad portfolio of firewall solutions designed for today’s data centers, we are redefining the industry’s standards to ensure that your data center security operates at the speed of your business.
One of the biggest hurdles for many organizations is the cost of entry for an enterprise-class data center firewall. The FortiGate 6001F provides an innovative PAYG model that enables businesses to secure their data centers with an affordable base configuration while providing the flexibility to scale firewall performance effortlessly as data traffic grows.
The other challenge is the need for robust security that can keep up with the volume and performance demands of today’s data centers. The FortiGate 6001F is designed to seamlessly adapt to varying edge deployment requirements, offering unprecedented deployment flexibility. This adaptability underscores our commitment to providing a solution that aligns with the dynamic nature of modern data centers and its need to interoperate with cloud-based applications and deployments.
