Fortinet
accelerated interface modules increase the flexibility of FortiGate
and FortiCarrier platforms with 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) interface Options. They also provide additional security
performance for the platforms, adding wire-speed firewall and near
wire-speed IPSec VPN security for traffic traversing the module's ports.
Fortinet accelerated interface modules include embedded FortiASIC
processors to accelerate the performance of your FortiGate system. By
performing firewall and IPSec VPN security functions at the interface
level, modules offload processing overhead from the host system, freeing
system resources for other functions. They are available in both
single-width and double-width Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) standards,
as well as the Fortinet Mezzanine Card (FMC) form factor for
FortiGate-3950 series appliances, and the Rear Transition Module (RTM)
form factor for FortiGate-5000 series chassis.
- Incremental firewall and IPSec VPN performance beyond the base
system capacity, delivering additional scalability to meet increased
traffic demands
- Increased port density allows greater flexibility in accommodating changes in the network design
