the FG-100F<\/a>. One of the appliance’s key selling points is its unprecedented ability to handle SD-WAN and network security all-in-one. To make a first-of-its-kind all-in-one requires going all-in, putting your chips on the table.\u00a0In this case though, it’s just one chip that takes the whole pot.<\/p>\nFortinet’s new SoC4 (SoC = system on a chip) is a result of the network security leader’s lengthy background developing application-specific integrated circuits (or ASICs). The SoC4 is a purpose-built SD-WAN ASIC, a silicon chip that allows one appliance to provide top-notch SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking), advanced routing, and Fortinet’s industry leading security, all without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n
Performance, You Say?<\/h3>\n
In fact, that performance is what sets the SD-WAN ASIC apart. You’ll get lightning-quick application identification and application steering for more than 5,000 applications, enabling digital transformation at the WAN edge (which is where an organization connects to external networks). Unlike having to wait too long for a fellow poker player to make a move, your users will avoid delays accessing their applications. You’ll see accelerated overlay performance with low latency – and your users will appreciate it.\u00a0Fortinet takes a deeper dive into its new chip on this video:<\/p>\n
