Test results and first public demonstration
scheduled for RSA Conference 2017, February 13th – 17th
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global leader in high-performance
cybersecurity solutions together with Ixia (NASDAQ: XXIA), a
leading provider of network testing, visibility, and security
solutions, today announced the results of Ixia’s CloudStorm™ and
BreakingPoint™ testing solutions used to validate the performance
of Fortinet’s recently announced FortiGate 3980E and 7060E
enterprise firewalls.
Ixia’s rigorous testing methodology resulted in Fortinet’s
FortiGate 3980E enterprise firewall demonstrating 1 Tbps (Terabit
per second) firewall performance, and the FortiGate 7060E
enterprise chassis firewall delivering 100 Gbps (Gigabit per
second) of NGFW throughput. The testing results, along with the
first public demonstration of the performance testing, will be
available in the Fortinet booth #3627 during the RSA Conference
scheduled for February 13th – 17th, 2017.
Ixia’s CloudStorm, the first multi-terabit network security test
platform, was selected by Fortinet to conduct very large-scale
demonstrations and proof of concept validations to demonstrate
real-world performance for their customers. Ixia’s BreakingPoint
application test solution emulates a real-world mix of network
traffic at the terabit level and simultaneously scales bandwidth,
connection rate and concurrent flows. This
enables Fortinet customers to validate the capacity,
efficiency, and resiliency of the Fortinet next gen firewall
platforms, as well as make faster and more informed decisions in
the vendor selection process.
CloudStorm simulates 2.4 terabits of mixed applications, as well
as malicious traffic, to test the critical elements of complex data
centers, including server applications, storage workloads, and
network security devices. As a result, it can validate the
efficacy of the application and threat detection engines of NGFW,
measure the impact of SSL traffic on performance, and assess
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation techniques. This
enables Fortinet customers to validate the performance of their
hyperscale data centers, while improving the security resiliency of
their network.
