FORTIGATE-30B

The FortiGate-30B offers full-featured, enterprise-class UTM inspection for the smallest remote offices, branch offices, and retail outlets. The FortiGate-30B is ideal for large enterprises with hundreds or thousands of small, remote networks that need full UTM inspection against today's evolving threats. As the entry-level FortiGate appliance, the FortiGate-30B also serves the smallest of business or home networks that do not require the advanced configuration and management features offered in the FortiGate-50B or FortiGate-60C.

FortiGate-30B Benefits

  • Unlimited user licensing minimizes operating costs and ensures that changes in number of users do not interfere with network availability

We have evaluated security solutions from various vendors but very few had solutions specifically tailored to the needs of MSSPs. The ability of the FortiGate solution to virtually segment each customer's connection and customize its configuration and profile to access all or several of the security applications we offer was decisive in our choice. FortiGate's multi-threat security platform is definitely a great option for large data center deployments such as ours.
