We needed a product powerful enough to be placed at the network edge and flexible enough to keep pace with ever-changing Internet threats," says Craig Skelton, network manager at RackForce. "The FortiGate platform closes the door to spam, viruses, and network attacks in real-time without affecting server or network performance.
