requirements. FortiSwitch Data Center switches meet these
challenges by providing a high-performance 10 GE, 40 GE, or
100 GE capable switching platform, with a low total cost of
ownership. Ideal for Top of Rack server or firewall aggregation
these switches are purpose-built to meet the needs of today’s
bandwidth-intensive environments.

Security Fabric Integration Through FortiLink
The FortiSwitch Data Center Series supports FortiGate management
through FortiLink, extending the Fortinet Security Fabric to the
Ethernet port level. This link allows the same policies configured
and applied to FortiGate interfaces to be applied to the FortiSwitch
Ethernet ports, reducing complexity and decreasing management
cost. With network security and access layer functions enabled and managed
through a single console, centralized policy management, including role-based
access and control, are easy to implement and manage. Users or devices can be
authenticated against the same database and have the same security policy applied
regardless of how or where they connect to the network.
