Fortigate 5020 Revenda Fortinet

Architecture:

Flexible and Scalable

• Chassis and blades systems that can be configured for various resiliency and network requirements.
• Security blades can be added as demand grows.
• Ease of maintenance and minimum disruption with hot swappable components

Chassis

The chassis enables the flexible system to scale effortlessly and with little disruptions by allowing hot swapped blades to be added according to desired requirements. The system can also be configured for various resilience designs within the chassis as well as between chassis. The rack mount ATCA chassis provides centralized and redundant power supplies to its blades. With exception of the FortiGate 5020, the chassis may be powered by either DC or AC with additional power interface. It facilitates backplane communications between the blades which may be used for HA heartbeat and other control and data communications.

The FortiGate 5060, FortiGate 5140B and FortiGate 5144C may house shelf managers that control chassis power allocation, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and control chassis cooling, and can signal alerts via alarm module if the chassis encounters problems.

Security Blades

High performance, ASICs powered security blades run on FortiOS or FortiCarrier which apply access policies and security profiles on the traffic they received from the networking blades via backplane or front panel interfaces. These blades may operate in NAT/route and/or transparent mode. They also support virtual systems (VDOMs) within the cluster.

Networking Blades

Up to two networking blades may be installed on a FortiGate 5060, FortiGate 5140B and FortiGate 5144C on designated slots. These blades connect the system to the network while connected to the multiple security blades via the chassis’s backplane. The networking blade clusters the security blades with traffic distribution.

Networking blades can assign security blades into service groups which are isolated clusters coexisting in a single chassis. Two networking blades may either operate as activepassive HA or separately with its own clusters.

Deployment:

Next Generation Perimeter Security

Firewalls alone aren’t enough to block today’s blended threats and attacks.
