FortiGate 60F – Secure SD-WAN in a Desktop
It was just a few short months ago that Fortinet introduced its new SoC4 SD-WAN ASIC processor, powering the first-of-its-kind Secure SD-WAN appliance, the FortiGate 100F. While the 100F is notable for its lightning-quick firewall performance and excellent connectivity, smaller organizations may not need a device to pack quite that much punch. Enter the Fortinet FortiGate 60F, which still offers quite a kick in providing Secure SD-WAN for small to mid-size business and branch office deployments. It boasts the same SD-WAN ASIC processor, purpose-built for security and SD-WAN in one device – and still excellent performance, at more than 15 times industry average throughput. But the FortiGate 60F does all this in a 1.9 pound, fanless desktop form factor, so you won’t need a rack mount setup to use it. Come along with us on a video feature review of the newest FortiGate to combine top-notch security and SD-WAN all-in-one. Introducing the Fortinet FortiGate 60F:
