Network security equipment suppliers and the global leader in UTM solutions - U.S. Fortinet (Fortinet) today announced that the acquisition of Woven Systems (service text system) of certain assets and intellectual property company.Woven of high-speed Ethernet switching technology and mature traffic management technology is expected to further enhance Fortinet's FortiGate-5000 series high-end box-type solution for the performance of safety equipment.
Founded in 2003, headquarters in Silicon Valley Woven Systems is the original high-performance computing market Ethernet switch solution provider.Is mainly engaged in next generation core network switching equipment research and development, enterprise and Internet data center design and build large scale, scalable 10GbE Ethernet switching equipment.High throughput, network latency is low.Woven Systems products are the world's smallest, highest density, 10 GbE switching high performance Ethernet switch products.She used custom ASIC chip, the unique traffic management capabilities, to improve speed.
Fortinet is the new generation of U.S. real-time network defense technology security experts, it provides a set of network and information security solutions.-Based ASIC-accelerated FortiGate network security platform in addition to providing firewall, virtual private network (VPN) and intrusion detection / prevention features, but also has anti-virus / worms, and Web content filtering application layer functions, and have anti-spam, anti-spywarefunction.The new feature is multi-dimensional mixed threat attacks.FortiGate solutions can block unauthorized access, intrusion, viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, phishing scams, spam, and other types of content-based and network-level attacks.It is the price to meet the high security needs of different enterprises.
FortiGate security platforms are UTM (Unified Threat Management) system to provide a comprehensive suite of real-time security solutions.FortiGate-5000 series high-end products, including models 5020,5050 and 5140.ATCA standards-based structure, which provide different depending on the model number of slots, you can insert FortiGate-5001A/5005FA2 processing cards, each card can handle a FortiGate ensure high network performance in the case of providing multiple functions, including firewall, IPSec and SSL VPN, intrusion detection prevention, web content filtering, anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware, application control, WAN optimization, anti-leak, terminal control, and integrated traffic management capabilities.Prevent blended attacks cost and easy to use.
Fortinet's ASIC-accelerated UTM products using custom network processor (NP) and the content processor (CP), if the switch in the high-end products in the integration of technology, Woven's technology and techniques combined with her own, thenunleashed, expect FortiGate-5000 Series devices enhance the scalability and throughput to bring safety can be further accelerated.Safety equipment in the box in the enhanced exchange of technology, means that the security of communication between and within the blade will reach a very high rate, improving overall scalability for Fortinet's high-end clients include large enterprises, carriers and service providersterms can be obtained for higher performance.
Fortinet founder, CEO Ken Xie Xie said, "Woven companies drive high-performance ASIC approach can maximize the performance of a customized processor makes it its own strategy for Fortinet is a good complement each other. The acquisition will enable us torespective technologies have a strong performance, so as to those who need the fastest, the most critical network security provide substantial environmental benefits customers.
