What are the benefits of using Fortinet custom ASICs?
Fortinet's custom ASICs, including the Security Processing Unit (SPU), Network Processor (NP), and Content Processor (CP), are designed to improve speed, scalability, and energy efficiency. They deliver up to 8 times faster firewall performance compared to standard CPUs, provide 9 times better threat protection, and enable 4 times faster encryption. This specialized hardware reduces complexity and operational costs while enhancing overall system performance.
How does FortiOS integrate with custom ASICs?
FortiOS serves as the backbone of Fortinet's security solutions, seamlessly integrating with custom ASICs to enhance security operations and management. This integration allows for rapid packet processing, cryptographic acceleration, and efficient content inspection, which collectively improve threat detection and response times. FortiOS also supports a unified management approach across various environments, including cloud and IoT.
What impact do Fortinet ASICs have on sustainability?
Fortinet's custom ASICs are designed to be significantly more energy-efficient than traditional general-purpose processors, consuming up to 88% less power. This reduction in energy consumption not only lowers operational costs but also helps minimize the carbon footprint of large-scale deployments, aligning with sustainability goals in IT operations.
