fortinet FortiGate 3700D
The Fortinet FortiGate 3700D is a 3U datacenter firewall that pioneered ultra-low latency 100 Gbps network processing using four Fortinet NP6 network processors. Delivering 160 Gbps of firewall throughput and 90 Gbps of IPsec VPN throughput across four 40GbE QSFP+ ports and twenty-eight 10GbE SFP+ slots, the 3700D secured large enterprise cloud providers. In secondary markets, the 3700D is traded as a cost-effective high-throughput hardware appliance for lab testing and spare inventory.
