Fortinet Enhances Its Secure Application Delivery

FortiADC-300E and FortiDirector GSLB Deliver High-Performance and Secure Application Delivery for Mid-Sized Enterprises

Fortinet announced the first new additions to its secure application delivery product portfolio that are a direct result of the company’s recent acquisitions of Coyote Point Systems and XDN. The FortiADC-300E is a high-performance application delivery controller (ADC) for mid-sized enterprises that combines traditional load balancing with advanced features that route traffic at the application level and offload secure HTTPS transactions from servers. FortiDirector is a hosted Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) service for medium and large enterprises, Application Service Providers (ASPs) and Software as a Service (SaaS) providers that bridges application traffic across multiple data centers and works with the FortiADC, FortiBalancer and Coyote Point Equalizer application delivery product lines. Together, the appliances and the service greatly enhance application performance for end users.

“To meet the rapid growth of secure applications, enterprises are demanding the integration of high performance security features into all aspects of their IT infrastructure, especially beginning at the front door with the application delivery controller,” said John Maddison, VP, Marketing, Fortinet. “As a logical extension to Fortinet’s leadership in the high performance network security market, the FortiADC-300E and FortiDirector combine to offer blazing fast HTTP performance, high reliability and optimized support of secure traffic across multiple data centers.”
