The new Fortinet Firewall FortiGate-5000 Series security system boasts of many standard features including, two front panel 40GigE QSFP fabric channel interfaces, two front panel 10GigE SFP fabric channel interfaces, two base backplane 1Gbps base channel interfaces, and two fabric backplane 40Gbps interfaces. The front panel SFP interfaces can also work as Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using SFP transceivers. The front panel interfaces can be used for connections to networks and the backplane interfaces for communication across the ATCA chassis backplane. The FortiGate-5001E also includes two front panel 10/100/1000BASE-T out of band management Ethernet interfaces, one RJ45 front panel serial console port, and one front panel USB port.

Fortinet Firewall – 5000 series in Nairobi includes a management console that is effective, simple to use, and provides comprehensive network automation & visibility. The console provides Zero Touch Integration with Security Fabric’s Single Pane of Glass Management. Predefined compliance checklist analyzes the deployment and highlights the best practices to improve overall security posture

Architecture of Fortinet FortiGate-5000 Series Nairobi

Fortinet FortiGate-5000E series  Chassis and blades systems that can be configured for various resiliency and network requirements. Security blades can be added as demand grows. Ease of maintenance and minimum disruption with hot swappable components

• Chassis
  The chassis enables the flexible system to scale effortlessly by allowing blades to be hot-swapped according to desired requirements. The system can also be configured for various resilience designs within the chassis as well as between chassis. The rack-mount ATCA chassis provides centralized and redundant power supplies to its blades and may be powered by either DC or AC with an additional power interface. It facilitates backplane communications between the blades which may be used for HA heartbeat and other control and data communications. The FortiGate 5144C and FortiGate 5060 may house shelf managers that control chassis power allocation, monitor chassis operating parameters, monitor and control chassis cooling, and can signal alerts via the alarm module if the chassis encounters problems.
  • FortiGate 5144C
    Next Generation 14U 19-inch rack mount ATCA chassis with 40 Gbps Backplane and capable of Dual-Dual-Star topology. It can install up to 14 FortiGate 5000 series blades.
• Security Blades
  High performance, Security Processing Unit (SPU) powered security blades run on FortiOS or FortiCarrier which apply access policies and security profiles on the traffic they receive from the networking blades via backplane or front panel interfaces. These blades may operate in NAT/route and/or transparent mode. They also support VDOMs (virtual domains) within the cluster.
  • FortiGate 5001D
    Security blade powered by CP8 and NP6 for superior firewall and UTM performance.
  • FortiGate 5001E/5001E1
    Latest purpose-built FortiGate security blade with carrier-class capacity and protection.
• Networking Blades
  Up to two networking blades may be installed on a FortiGate 5144C and FortiGate 5060 in designated slots. These blades connect the system to the network while connected to the multiple security blades via the chassis backplane. The networking blade clusters the security blades with traffic distribution. Networking blades can assign security blades into service groups which are isolated clusters coexisting in a single chassis. Two networking blades may either operate as active-passive HA or separately with its clusters.
  • FortiController 5903C/5913C
    High Performance networking blade that provides 10/40-gigabit fabric and 1-gigabit base backplane channel layer-2 switching in a dual star architecture.
