TekPlus take a look at Fortinet’s FortiGate 5140

The UTM market is continuously evolving and in the

midst of this trend, vendors make lots of efforts and

investments to enhance their UTM offerings and channel.

The demand for UTM devices in the large enterprises,

MSSP and carriers is rapidly increasing. Fortinet is already

present in this high-end market with FortiGate 5000 series;

and the latest addition to this is FortiGate 5140 - a blade

chassis based multiple security functionality system.

Fortinet seems to have made strong efforts in enriching the features of these systems in order to deliver high availability and high capacity security system for securing the customer’s large networks. Its other highlighted features include “price affordability” and “easy-to-upgrade” architecture. TekPlus believes that in spite of all these; FortiGate 5140 systems may have to struggle against the brand values of Cisco and Juniper in terms of attracting high-end customers.

“There are many other products from different vendors, including the heavyweights, available in the market but Fortinet’s FortiGate products have consistently delivered good performance. Being the first and only product in this category to be ATCA standard compliant would certainly attract service providers who are planning to offer diverse portfolio of security services,” says Sameer Pawar, Security Analyst at TekPlus.
