Our FAQ answers 6 common questions.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">[expander_maker id=\"31\" more=\"Open FAQ\" less=\"Close FAQ\"]<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q1. How does Fortinet support zero trust and segmentation at scale?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Fortinet Data Centre Firewalls apply granular security policies using VXLAN\/VLAN tagging, micro-segmentation, and user identity through FortiAuthenticator. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) ensures that every user, device, and application is continuously verified, preventing lateral movement across workloads and tenants.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q2. What makes Fortinet Firewalls suitable for hyperscale data centres?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">High-end FortiGate models leverage Fortinet\u2019s NP7 processors to deliver multi-terabit throughput with sub-microsecond latency. Hardware acceleration offloads intensive tasks such as intrusion prevention and SSL inspection, enabling secure operations in hyperscale environments without impacting application performance.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q3. How do Fortinet Firewalls manage encrypted traffic at massive scale?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">With dedicated SSL\/TLS inspection hardware, Fortinet Firewalls can decrypt and inspect encrypted traffic (including TLS 1.3) at line rate. This allows enterprises to maintain visibility across over 80% of encrypted traffic without creating bottlenecks or blind spots.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q4. How do Fortinet Firewalls integrate with SDN and automation frameworks?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Fortinet provides APIs, Ansible modules, and direct integrations with VMware NSX, Cisco ACI, and OpenStack. This enables policy-driven automation where firewall rules adapt dynamically to workload changes, supporting agile, software-defined data centre environments.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q5: How do Fortinet Firewalls mitigate DDoS and high-volume attack scenarios?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">FortiGate firewalls feature hardware-accelerated DDoS protection, anomaly detection, and rate-limiting to block volumetric and application-layer attacks. They can also integrate with FortiDDoS appliances for advanced, layered mitigation in large-scale environments.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Q6: What support options are provided under FortiCare?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">FortiCare offers flexible global support ranging from 8x5 business-hour cover to 24x7 mission-critical support. Options include advanced hardware replacement, firmware updates, and direct access to Fortinet engineers, ensuring organisations maintain uptime and compliance.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">[\/expander_maker]<\/p>\r\n[expander_maker id=\"31\" more=\"Other FortiGate Series Firewalls\" less=\"Close\"]\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Other FortiGate Series Firewalls<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/shop\/networking-and-security\/firewalls\/fortinet-firewalls\/fortigate-campus-firewalls\/\">FortiGate Campus Firewalls<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/shop\/networking-and-security\/firewalls\/fortinet-firewalls\/fortigate-enterprise-firewalls\/\">FortiGate Enterprise Firewalls<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n[\/expander_maker]","link":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/?product_cat=fortigate-data-centre-firewalls","name":"FortiGate Data Centre Firewalls","slug":"fortigate-data-centre-firewalls","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":24013,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/24673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/24013"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.steelcityconsulting.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct&product_cat=24673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
