Fortinet Launches New High-Performance Switches to Securely Connect
the Modern Campus
John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer and EVP, Product
Strategy at Fortinet“Fortinet has delivered secure
switching solutions for 20 years, making it uniquely positioned to
empower customers with a comprehensive secure connectivity solution
for the entire LAN. We are the only vendor offering fully converged
wired and wireless networking and AI-powered security through a
single platform, providing visibility and security from the moment
a user or device connects to the network.”
News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the
global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking
and security, today announced two new campus switches, the
FortiSwitch 600 and 2000. These switches support the growing
connectivity and security needs of the campus with high
performance, embedded intelligence, and seamless integration with
Fortinet’s AIOps management tool and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security
Services.
The modern campus requires new levels of
connectivityUsers require more bandwidth than ever before,
and many organizations are investing in next-generation wireless
access points (APs) to provide increased connectivity.
Unfortunately, legacy switching solutions often can’t keep up. To
ensure network availability and a positive user experience,
organizations need high-performance switches that intelligently
organize AP traffic and prevent bottlenecks.
FortiSwitch 600 and 2000: Access and core switches for
the connected campusThe new FortiSwitch 600 and 2000
announced today expand Fortinet’s secure, simplified, and scalable
switching portfolio. They are designed with the performance and
port density to meet the demands of the modern campus and scale as
connectivity needs grow.
The FortiSwitch 600 series is a multi-gigabit secure campus
access switch with up to 5GE access and 25GE uplinks to optimize
network performance by intelligently supporting traffic from
next-gen APs to business-critical destinations. The FortiSwitch
2000 series is a campus core switch designed to support larger,
more complex campus environments by aggregating high-performance
access switches, like the FortiSwitch 600. Both include a dual
power supply for the redundancy today’s high-performance campuses
require.
A platform approach to secure
connectivityFortinet has delivered wired and wireless LAN
solutions that converge networking and security since the company’s
founding 20 years ago. The new switches announced today are the
latest additions to our secure connectivity platform, which
provides comprehensive security, access control, and unified
management throughout the LAN.
Customers who use FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls as a
switching controller eliminate overlays while benefitting from
FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services like advanced malware
protection, IPS, sandboxing, and web filtering. And all FortiSwitch
models integrate with FortiAIOps, Fortinet’s AI for IT operations
tool that provides real-time insights into potential network issues
and automates manual tasks. Bringing networking and security into a
single solution provides unprecedented visibility into the entire
LAN and enables NAC functionality, like profiling and onboarding
new users and devices, at no extra charge.
We believe it’s because of this industry-leading approach that
Fortinet has been recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic
Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for
three consecutive years and as a Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’
Choice for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for six
years in a row.
Supporting Quotes“Our campus environment
supports thousands of students and faculty, and Fortinet switches
helped us modernize our infrastructure to offer the consistent
connectivity and Power-over-Ethernet they need. And by managing all
of our switches through FortiGate NGFWs, we consolidated point
products into a unified platform that offers more visibility into
potential security risks than we’ve ever had before.”– Jeff
Howlett, Chief Information Officer, Meredith College
“Our customers need powerful solutions that can scale with their
connectivity needs, especially within high-performance networking.
By partnering with Fortinet, Mainline can offer next-generation
switches with the access, uplink, and power organizations need, as
well as a pathway to a simplified and secure platform for their
entire LAN. The FortiSwitch can stand on its own but where it
really shines is when paired with other solutions within the
Fortinet Security Fabric.”– Ryan Ryszka, Security Systems Engineer,
