Network security equipment suppliers and the global leader in UTM solutions - U.S. Fortinet (Fortinet), today announced that the acquisition 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 be used to further enhance Fortinet's FortiGate-5000 series high-end box-type solution for the performance of safety equipment.
Built in 2003, headquarters in Silicon Valley Woven Systems is the original high-performance computing market, provider of Ethernet switching solutions. Are 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, low latency. 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 whole set of network and information security solutions. Based on ASIC-accelerated FortiGate network security platform in addition to providing a 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-spyware function. The threat of new features is multi-dimensional hybrid attacks. FortiGate solutions to block unauthorized access, intrusion, viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, phishing scams, spam, and other types of content-based and network layer attacks. It's cost-effective to meet the high security needs of different enterprises.
FortiGate security platforms are UTM (Unified Threat Management) system which provides 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 according to the number of different models with different slot, you can insert FortiGate-5001A/5005FA2 processing cards, each card can handle a FortiGate ensure high network performance in case of a wide range of features, including firewall , IPSec and SSL VPN, intrusion prevention, web content filtering, anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware, application control, WAN optimization, anti-leak, terminal control, and integrated traffic management capabilities. Cost-effective to prevent attacks on a good mix, easy to use.
Fortinet's ASIC-accelerated UTM products are custom network processor (NP) and the content processor (CP), if the high-end products into the switch technology, Woven's technology and techniques combined with her own, then even more powerful, wish to enhance our FortiGate-5000 Series device scalability, and can bring security to further accelerate throughput. In the box type safety devices enhance the exchange of technology, means that security and internal communication between the blade will reach a very high rate, improve the overall scalability for Fortinet's high-end clients include large enterprises, carriers and service providers concerned, can achieve higher performance.
Fortinet Founder, CEO Ken Xie Xie said, "Woven companies high-performance ASIC-driven approach can be customized to maximize performance processor makes it's own strategy for Fortinet is a good complement. The acquisition will enable us their technology have a strong performance for those who need the fastest, the most critical network security provide substantial environmental benefits customers. "
