Hello ! We are evaluating different solution for Traffic shaping, IPS, firewall and Vpn. We came across Fortinet. It seems to do all those function and more in one appliance. It`s called unified threat management but can it sustains all those functions concurrently without choking? I am worry to put all my eggs in one basket. I know they use ASIC instead of CPU but I would like to see all eight functions activated (firewall, antivirus, anti-spam, IPS, IDS, traffic shaping, VPN) I know Fortinet/Fortigate is used in universities. If you are using it, can you give me some feedback?
When the product came out, we received a spreadsheet from sales that displayed the average bandwidth you could expect depending on the features you enabled. (Sorry, I don't have the document anymore.) But an SE might be able to get you a copy of that. -- John G.
