STORAGE OPTIONS FOR FORTINET HARDWARE PLATFORMS

Fortinet all-in-one storage modules extend the capabilities of Fortinet platforms. With FortiGate® multi-threat security platforms, the modules provide local storage facilities for security and system events. In addition, they can enable the WAN optimization feature available in FortiOS™ software version 4.0 or later1, which works to accelerate applications commonly affected by slower network connections.

The Fortinet ASM-S08 module is a single-width Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form-factor option. The ASM-S08 module features an 80 GB commercial-grade hard disk drive (HDD).

The Fortinet FSM-064 module is a single-width Fortinet Storage Module (FSM) form-factor option. The FSM-064 module features a 64 GB Solid State Drive (SSD).

The ASM-S08 module is a single-width AMC form-factor option that adds all-in-one internal storage to supported FortiGate platforms. The ASM-S08 features a 80GB commercial-grade hard disk drive.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Local Security and System Event Logging1 - Allows smaller deployments or isolated systems to benefit from increased log storage capacity without the use of a FortiAnalyzer appliance or other external logging system.
  • FortiOS WAN Optimization1 - Accelerates applications traversing slower network connections. The combination of multi-threat security, traffic optimization, and VPN technologies provides cleaned, accelerated, and secured communications.
  • Modular Form Factor - Empowers customers with the ability to build the ideal system configuration, or upgrade an existing system2.
  • FortiOS Integration - Lowers operational burden through total integration of optional module, base system hardware, and operating system software.

Not only is the volume of email traffic rising but with it, the complexity of malware with the presence of blended threats combining spam, viruses, worms and spyware. To help ensure optimum service and security for our customers, we needed an effective multi-layered solution that combined antivirus, anti-spam and anti-spyware technologies in one appliance. FortiMail met our performance requirements while providing ease-of-use and management to our IT team which is essential as we do not have the time or resources to deploy and maintain separate point solutions.
