The FortiGate-311B multi-threat security appliance delivers proven, consolidated security at switching speeds. Its enterprise-grade performance and no per-user pricing make it ideal for your growing enterprise. The FortiGate-311B appliance integrates two purpose-built security processing ASICs to provide the high-performance protection you need in your network. The FortiASIC™ Network Processor provides acceleration for firewall, encryption/decryption, signature, and heuristic packet scanning. The FortiASIC Content Processor provides additional acceleration for content intensive security technologies such as intrusion prevention and antivirus scanning.

The FortiGate-311B appliance's eight hardware-accelerated interfaces (expandable to 12) enable you to enforce firewall policies between network segmentation points for increased security, while preserving switch-like performance. The modular expansion slots give you even more flexibility, offering incremental ASIC-accelerated ports for additional throughput or increased disk-based storage. The appliance's included storage provides localized event logging, content archiving, or WAN optimization. The FortiGate-311B appliance enables you to create multiple security zones for various departments, users, access methods and devices, to enforce your critical network security at accelerated speeds.
