Security n Identifies thousands of applications inside network traffic
for deep inspection and granular policy enforcement
n Protects against malware, exploits, and malicious websites in both encrypted and non-encrypted traffic
n Prevent and detect against known and unknown attacks using continuous threat intelligence from AI-powered FortiGuard Labs security services
Performance n Delivers industry's best threat protection performance
and ultra-low latency using purpose-built security processor (SPU) technology with DPDK+vNP offloading and SR-IOV technologies
n Provides industry-leading performance and protection for SSL encrypted traffic
n Supports Intel QuickAssist (QAT) acceleration for throughput improvements on IPsec VPN
Certification n Independently tested and validated for best-in-class
security effectiveness and performance
n Received unparalleled third-party certifications from NSS Labs

Networking n Delivers advanced networking capabilities that
seamlessly integrate with advanced layer 7 security and virtual domains (VDOMs) to offer extensive deployment flexibility, multi-tenancy and effective utilization of resources (only BYOL supports VDOM)
n Delivers high-density, flexible combination of various high-speed interfaces to enable best TCO for customers for data center and WAN deployments

DEPLOYMENT

Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)
§ Reduce complexity by combining threat protection security capabilities into single high-performance network security appliances
§ Identify and stop threats with powerful intrusion prevention beyond port and protocol that examines the actual applications in your network traffic

§ Delivers the industry's highest SSL inspection performance using industry-mandated ciphers while maximizing ROI
§ Proactively blocks newly discovered sophisticated attacks in real-time with advanced threat protection

Gain comprehensive visibility and apply consistent control

TECHNOLOGIES
SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)
In enabling SR-IOV on the KVM host, a single physical network controller can be partitioned into multiple virtual interfaces (called virtual functions (VFs)), consisting of an ESXi virtual network pool of adapters, which can be used by local host processors or directly by virtual machines like the FortiGate-VM. The VM then talks directly to the network adapters through Direct Memory Access (DMA) by bypassing virtualization transports, which will improve north-south network performance.

Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) and vNP Offloading
DPDK and vNP enhance FortiGate-VM performance by offloading part of packet processing to userspace while bypassing kernel within the operating system. The capability must be enabled and configured with FortiGate CLI commands.
