AX. High performance, resilience, and flexible Ethernet networking
Today's enterprises demand high-performance, reliable, scalable network infrastructure to support ever-increasing bandwidth demands and evolving business needs. Fortinet FortiSwitch AX which complements the FortiSwitch Security Fabric Ethernet Switch lines, addresses these challenges with a comprehensive feature set designed for enterprise performance, reliability, and scalability.
Business Challenges
Modern Ethernet networks face key challenges, including supporting the increasing proliferation of devices and bandwidth-intensive applications, which demands high-speed, low-latency infrastructure without compromising network reliability. High availability and rapid failover are critical as downtime directly impacts productivity and revenue. These same networks must be scalable and flexible to adapt to growth and support diverse deployments.
FortiSwitch AX
The Fortinet FortiSwitch AX family of Ethernet switches delivers high-performance line rate Ethernet switching with the versatility, resilience, and ease of management required for campus, branch, and data center environments.|
Use Cases
Branch
As businesses continue to adapt to changing physical office needs, the distributed enterprise with geographically dispersed offices offers increased flexibility with the ability to scale up and down as demands change. FortiSwitch AX offers models with the features and flexibility to meet these ever-evolving needs.
Campus
The traditional campus network is undergoing notable change as businesses adjust their in-office requirements for their employees. The need for scalable, reliable performance however has not changed. FortiSwitch AX offers the resilience and performance needed to address the next generation campus. Data Center
The data center is recognized and the most demanding Ethernet environment. High speed, fault tolerance, cooling capabilities, routing, and network convergence are all key elements to this dynamic environment. FortiSwitch AX offers key features to address all of these requirements and more.
