Fortinet Launches Powerful Operating System Upgrades That Extend Wireless Networking and Integrated Security for Wired and Wireless Networks

Fortinet Launches Powerful Operating System Upgrades That Extend Wireless Networking and Integrated Security for Wired and Wireless Networks
FortiOS Firmware Release Introduces Unique Wireless Controller Extensions and Active Profiling for Behavior-Based Policy Enforcement

SUNNYVALE, CA — (MARKET WIRE) — 02/14/11 — Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) — a leading network security provider and the worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions — today announced a new release of its FortiOS™ 4.0 operating system for the FortiGate product family, including today’s newly introduced FortiGate-3140B multi-threat security appliance. Fortinet will showcase these and other products at the RSA Conference in Booth #923 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from February 14-18. (Editors Note: Please see today’s announcement regarding Fortinet’s launch of the FortiGate-3140B security appliance.)

The broad advancements offered in the FortiOS 4.0 MR3 operating system introduce wireless controller extensions that support automatic provisioning of wireless access points, detection and suppression of rogue access points, multiple authentication methods and strengthened unified management of both wired and wireless networks from a single FortiGate platform. The upgrade also introduces active profiling and flow-based threat inspection enhancements to the robust OS that already integrates firewall, virtual private network (VPN), intrusion prevention (IPS), antivirus, application control and many other security technologies.

Expanded Wireless Options
With the release of FortiOS 4.0 MR3, powerful new security features and performance enhancements are now available for FortiGate consolidated security appliances. The advanced FortiOS operating system expands the wireless controller capabilities of any FortiGate running FortiOS 4.0 MR3. These capabilities improve security by enabling role-based access control to limit access to regulated, proprietary, or confidential data based upon a user’s role, as well as allowing customers to meet wireless PCI DSS compliance with improved rogue AP on-wire detection and suppression and integrated management and reporting for both wireless connectivity and security.

As a complement to this firmware feature, Fortinet is also introducing the FortiAP-222B outdoor wireless access point (AP), which completes the FortiAP family of access points and allows enterprise-wide wifi coverage across the campus with seamless roaming. The FortiAP-222B is a high power dual-radio outdoor thin AP that provides wireless client access or air monitor in a ruggedized weather-resistant enclosure. This device will benefit enterprises looking to extend their wireless network to challenging non-temperature controlled environments, or beyond the physical footprint of a building or campus. The simple-to-manage-and-deploy FortiAP-222B uses an industry leading high gain 27dB transmit output and highly sensitive receiver which permits coverage to a vast area.

FortiOS Inspection Enhancements
The advanced FortiOS operating system features active profiling that provides the ability to use a form of behavioral analysis to create and actively enforce policies based on deviations from corporate, group or individual baseline profiles. A range of policy enforcement options is available for suspicious behavior, including monitoring, quarantining and/or outright blocking.

Flow-based inspection enhancements included with the FortiOS operating system enable more powerful Web filtering and traffic shaping features, interface-based “one-arm” IPS, and advanced data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. Flow-based inspection also leverages FortiASIC processors to further accelerate anti-virus, application control, IPS and IPv6 firewall inspection. Customers can now select the flow-based or proxy-based security technologies best suited to their unique network environment and risk tolerance.

Other important FortiOS 4.0 MR3 operating system enhancements include:

Stronger Authentication: Two-factor authentication via FortiToken, SMS messaging and email is enabled. FortiToken supports one-time password authentication, IPSec and SSL VPN authentication, and administrator and firewall login.

Expanded Compliance: Extensions in vulnerability scanning have been added to support rogue access point detection and suppression in wireless networks. PCI DSS compliance requires periodic detection and removal of unauthorized wireless devices.

Setup Wizards: New HTML-based wizards streamline the setup of all FortiGate consolidated security appliances. Setup of basic, as well as advanced firewall, UTM, dual-WAN, and remote VPN security features is now faster and easier.
“Fortinet’s strong footing in security combined with our wireless innovation creates an opportunity for companies that need high-performance, secure wireless environments that offer broad protection and the benefits of integrated security,” said Michael Xie, founder, CTO and vice president of engineering at Fortinet. “By innovating across hardware, software and wireless dimensions, we continue to meet the evolving security requirements of our worldwide customer base.”

Availability
FortiOS 4.0 MR3 and the FortiAP-222B will be available this quarter.

Silverpeak: Law firm finds WAN optimisation key to data centre consolidation

 From: IPKnowledge.net

Law firm finds WAN optimisation key to data centre consolidation

by Crystal BedellBandwidth limitations and latency have become a common way of life for WAN managers who can’t afford an upgrade, but virtualization and data centre consolidation are forcing many IT shops to confront these problems headlong. Such was the case for a London-based law firm that found WAN optimisation to be a viable answer. For the London-based global law firm, solving WAN bandwidth limitations and latency problems was vital to enabling data centre consolidation. The IT department had virtualized 6,000 desktops, and then wanted to consolidate its four data centres.   The law firm’s users work on virtual desktops delivered via Citrix to thin clients. Nothing is stored locally; all data and applications are streamed down from a data centre. But users were experiencing inconsistent network performance from one location to another and even throughout the day. “It wasn’t a case of trying to get faster downloads,” said Warren Lynn, the law firm’s network engineer. “It was a problem with keyboard strokes and screen updates. Letters on the screen appeared a few seconds after you pressed a key. It was like looking at the Internet in the early ‘90s when the screen slowly rendered a JPEG.” The law firm had a packet shaper in place that was purely a Qquality of service Service device. It couldn’t cache the network and had limited acceleration capabilities. “It just didn’t seem to work very well. All it did was say, ‘this traffic is more important than that traffic,’” Lynn said.After talking to several WAN optimisation vendors in the space, the firm decided to go with Silver Peak’s NX series of appliances for its network integrity features. The appliances optimize the network for quality by removing packets that are locked or out of order. The firm deployed 30 appliances in each of its two mesh networks as well as a number of point-to-point links for a total of 70 appliances. With the WAN optimisation appliances in place, the law firm was able to move forward with its data centre consolidation project. “Instead of having four children to feed, we currently have three. At a minimum we want two — for disaster recovery purposes — and we’re currently in the process of creating a proof of concept for removing our other regional data centre in Hong Kong,” Lynn said. In addition to the cost savings resulting from shutting down an entire data centre, the law firm now saves on WAN circuits. Prior to installing the WAN optimisation appliances, bandwidth was growing at a rate of about 10% a year, Lynn said. The IT department was performing WAN circuit upgrades for at least one office about once a month. Since the Silver Peak installation nearly two years ago, only one office has needed an upgrade. “At the very least, just in WAN circuits, we’ve saved more than two million pounds,” Lynn said. Optimising the network has also enabled the law firm to deliver video through Citrix — something the IT department struggled with previously. “We thought we’d have to stop using Citrix and move back to managing 6,000 servers. But a combination of network memory, caching and enhancements within Citrix itself in terms of how video is handled, have allowed us to avoid doing that,” Lynn said. Now, live video is set up in London and streamed to all the offices. Partners conduct meetings via video and create video of company updates instead of email newsletters. The video also allows IT to deliver training to the desktop. Users can access a database of training videos on a range of topics, from using information systems to law, without leaving the office. Another unexpected benefit of using a WAN optimisation appliance is the added visibility into the network. Any of the 30 sites in the network can talk to another site directly. These connections were impossible to monitor prior to the Silver Peak implementation, Lynn said. “Silver Peak is the only thing we use to monitor the entire network. It sees every packet that leaves any location and any packet that arrives at a location, and it can tell you how long it took to get there,” Lynn said. –

Because FortiGate consolidated security platforms can act as wireless controllers, you now have the freedom to deploy a secure, high-performance wireless network at a fraction of the cost of traditional deployments.

Silver Peak enters Europe

Specialized in WAN optimization, Silver Peak Systems has decided to attack the European market by entering simultaneously in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The company has also opened its European office, with 14 people working on sales and support for local customers. To better reach European resellers, the company has signed distribution partnerships with CDG (United Kingdom), Sysob (DACH region, through its offices in Austria, Germany and Switzerland) and Exclusive Networks. Limited in a first time to French market, the partnership with Exclusive Networks will be extended in a few months to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belux and the Netherlands : “we wait until Exclusive Networks team are trained and start working before doing that. Also, we will leverage on Exclusive Storage business unit, to be able to work on optimization projects both on storage and network sides“, explains Mike Betz, VP EMEA for Silver Peak. The company will also explore the Scandinavian markets later, then Eastern Europe and MEA.

Compared to its direct competitors, Riverbed (distributed by Zycko in several European countries) and Ipanema (distributed by Computerlinks in France, Secureway in MEA and TechAccess in Benelux), Silver Peak explains that its offer is much more simple and answers most needs without any additional modules : “definitely high-end, our seven appliances allow our resellers to get more margin“, says Mike Betz. Targeted VARs and system integrators should be specialized in datacenters and networks. All will be trained by our distributors before being allowed to sell any product. Silver Peak plans to enter later virtualization/cloud market, thanks to virtual appliance versions of its products.
