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.
