Fulcrum Announces Design Win with Fortinet
You might have seen the news this week that Fortinet® has chosen FocalPoint silicon for its recently announced FortiSwitch-1000 chassis-based switching platform. Fortinet is a leading network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions. As Fortinet Senior Director of Data Center Strategy Marshall Bartoszek observed:
“One of the keys to this [new switch family] is the FocalPoint architecture, which provides high performance at the core of our architecture and powers the vScale congestion-avoidance features that give our switches a distinct, low latency competitive advantage.”
The FortiSwitch-1000 is another example of a FocalPoint-enabled fat tree network architecture providing non-blocking Ethernet fabrics for even the largest data centers. Data Center Bridging features built into FocalPoint provide the FortiSwitch family a silicon solution that enables the high-performance network fabrics required by data centers for latency sensitive tasks and high-speed interconnect applications, including server virtualization, data center consolidation and cloud-based computing.
