Powering Advanced Research with Scalable, Robust Security in Hyperscale Data Centers
This brief explains how NP7-powered FortiGate next-generation firewalls secure hyperscale data centers used for pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and other advanced research workloads. These environments transfer massive datasets through 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps elephant flows for AI, machine learning, simulations, and exploration analysis, but conventional firewalls often cannot match this performance. FortiGate provides high-speed Layer 4 policy enforcement, access control, DDoS protection, and IPsec encryption without forcing a choice between security and throughput. Multiple interfaces support parallel flows exceeding a terabit per second. NP7 improves power efficiency, reducing cost and environmental impact. Security Fabric management lowers complexity while supporting compliance, faster resea
