Recently we found on few sites information regarding upcoming FortiGate-110C model that should fill in the gap...
So in short FG-110C will have:
- 2 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports
- 8 x 10/100 Ethernet Ports
- Firewall Performance - 500Mbps
- IPS Performance - 200Mbps
- VPN Performance - 100Mbps (and 1500 IPSec VPN tunnels)
- Antivirus Performance - 65Mbps
- Number of sessions - 400,000 (10,000 new sessions/second)
When combined together these features provide unique combination that will allow Fortinet to better compete in the SMB segment. However low performance numbers on FW/VPN will limit the impact of new product launch as most of FW/VPN vendors already have the same horsepower in much smaller and cheaper devices. Let's hope that Fortinet intentionally left 200's index free and we will see a 200A's replacement quite soon.
There is no official pricing available yet, but some of the sites are already offering it at less than 2000 GBP including 1-Year Bundle Support.
