Under the hood of the Fortinet FG-40F next-gen firewall
Fast, secure, affordable remote access is now critical to everyone. Fortunately, the Fortinet FG-40F next-gen firewall checks all the boxes! The Fortinet FG- boasts Threat Protection Throughput of 600 Mbps, and 5 Gbps of Firewall Throughput. In addition, it pushes 490 Mbps of SSL/VPN Throughput.
And, the same FortiSOC4 processor in all the larger FortiGates powers the FG-40F. This adds built-in SD-WAN networking to the FG-40F’s powerful security features. And that reduces your total cost of ownership even more. How? By addressing networking and security a single appliance!
So, what are FortiCare and FortiGuard Support contracts? How do I choose one of these?
Good question. When you purchase a Fortinet FG-40F, you have several options to go along with the firewall itself. These support contracts ensure that your firewall performs at its highest possible level, for as long as possible. The options on the right combine FortiCare and FortiGuard. Without these support options in place, a firewall would basically be an expensive doorstop.
What are they, then?
Basically, FortiCare gives you global tech support for your Fortinet FG-40F. That means a timely response to any technical issues. Plus, you’ll have complete visibility on ticket resolution progress. It includes firmware upgrades, access to the support portal, and related resources. Also, you’ll receive reporting on technical incidents via the web, chat, and telephone. There’s also a hardware return option.
FortiGuard is the constantly self-updating security part of your Fortinet FG-40F. In other words, it’s what makes it a firewall. Each option includes many security services designed to tackle the most advanced Internet threats any time. For example, AntiVirus, AntiSpam, Advanced Malware Protection, Email Security, and more.
