Overview
The FortiGate-1240B appliance raises the bar in network security devices by integrating a purpose-built processor, known as the FortiASIC^TM Network Processor, into the FortiGate system to deliver security throughput at switching speeds. Thirty-eight hardware accelerated ports, of the 40 total on the system, allow networks to enforce firewall policy between network segmentation points for layered security with switch-like performance. An additional purpose-built processor, known as the FortiASIC Content Processor, provides additional acceleration for content intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention and antivirus scanning. The inclusion of an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) expansion bay and Fortinet Storage Module (FSM) bays allow for even more flexibility, offering additional ASIC-accelerated ports for additional throughput or disk-based storage for local logging and content archiving. With numerous accelerated multi-threat security interfaces, organizations can create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods, and even devices to enforce network security at accelerated speeds

FortiGate-1240B Benefits

• FortiGate multi-threat security provides better protection and lowered costs over multiple point security products
• FortiASIC processors provide assurance that the security device will not become a bottleneck in the network
• Forty total ports (standard) facilitates numerous internal segmentation points throughout the network
• AMC and FSM expansion bays provide greater flexibility by supporting additional hardware-accelerated ports and localized storage of event data
• FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer centralized management and reporting appliances simplify the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of the security infrastructure

Complex Security Threats are Driving Consolidation
The evolution of network security threats is driving the design of security products to include multiple threat recognition systems within a single appliance. The FortiGate multi-threat security appliance from Fortinet are the new generation of secure gateways that fully integrate essential security and networking functions into a single device to identify and stop multiple threats effectively and efficiently. Never before has so much security functionality been consolidated into a single, high-performance device and presented at such a compelling total cost of ownership.

Features & Benefits

Fortinet's ASIC-Based Advantage

FortiASIC processors power FortiGate platforms. With exclusive hardware, the purpose built, high-performance network and content processors use intelligent and proprietary digital engines to accelerate compute-intensive security services.

FortiOS 4.0: Redefining Network Security

FortiOS 4.0 software, a key component of the FortiGate multi-threat security platform, was developed solely for security, performance, and reliability. It is a purpose-built operating system that leverages the power of FortiASIC hardware to offer increased levels of security and performance. FortiOS software enables a comprehensive suite of security services - firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention, antimalware, antispam, web filtering, application control, data loss prevention, and end point network access control.

Technical Specifications:
