Fortinet - FortiGate 200F officially announced
Fortinet
Last week still a rumour, this week already reality. The Fortinet FortiGate 200F will be available from November 2020. However, it can be assumed that the model will only be available in limited quantities in the first few weeks. It is therefore possible that there may be longer delivery times.
The direct comparison with the FortiGate 100F or the predecessor model, the FortiGate 200E, is quite impressive. Thanks to the CP9 Content Processor and the NP6XLite Network Processor, new top values in the price class are achieved here.

There are now even four SFP+ 10 Gbit interfaces instead of only two, as found in the FortiGate 100F. In addition, 8 SFP ports with 1 Gbit and 16 RJ45 ports with 1 Gbit are installed. Nevertheless, the model only takes up one rack unit (RU).
To ensure the security of passwords, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is also built into the FortiGate. This can then be used to provide special protection for important information such as passwords or pre-shared keys for IPSec.
The FortiGate 200F Series provides an application-centric, scalable and secure SD-WAN solution with next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities for medium to large enterprises, at the campus or enterprise branch office level. Protects against cyber threats with system-on-a-chip acceleration and industry-leading secure SD-WAN in a simple, affordable and easy-to-deploy solution. Fortinet's security-driven The Network Approach provides tight integration of the network into the new generation of security.
