After
Fortinet updated SOHO and Enterprise solutions with
FortiGate-50B/60B and
FortiGate-310B most of us were waiting for some
SMB solution to fit in the middle. One of the main problem of mid-class products of
Fortinet was absence of
Gigabit Ethernet ports on
SMB devices. Also price/performance of
FortiGate-100A and 200A was quite poor when compared to 60B model.
Recently we found on few sites information regarding upcoming
FortiGate-110C model that should fill in the gap...
So in short
FG-110C will have:
- 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports
- 8 x 10/100 Ethernet Ports
- Firewall Performance - 500Mbps
- IPS Performance - 200Mbps
- VPN Performance - 100Mbps (and 1500 IPSec VPN tunnels)
- Antivirus Performance - 65Mbps
- Number of sessions - 400,000 (10,000 new sessions/second)
When combined together these features provide unique combination that will allow
Fortinet to better compete in the
SMB segment. However low performance numbers on
FW/
VPN will limit the impact of new product launch as most of
FW/
VPN vendors already have the same horsepower in much smaller and cheaper devices. Let's hope that
Fortinet intentionally left 200's index free and we will see a 200A's replacement quite soon.
