NxtGen deploys Fortinet for security services

Fortinet has announced that NxtGen Datacenter & Cloud Technologies has deployed its FortiGate etwork security platforms, and FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer centralized management and reporting appliances at its datacenter to provide high-speed managed security services to businesses in the country. NxtGen chose Fortinet over competing network security players for its performance, effective single pane management and simple per-box licensing model.

The Fortinet deployment enables NxtGen to offer customizable cloud security services that gives customers the flexibility to set up firewall preferences of their choice. Their enterprise cloud services also provide gateway level advance threat protection with traffic scanning and reporting.

By deploying FortiGate's network security platform at NxtGen's 24x7 command center, the service provider has created a virtualized security architecture for its host servers. The datacenter has enabled advanced threat protection by activating security features like IPS, application control, web filtering, VPN, WAN optimization and user authentication.

NxtGen also leverages Fortinet's FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliances to easily manage and centrally configure all its firewalls, and enable policy-based provisioning, update management and end-to-end network monitoring. This gives NxtGen complete control over its managed security services.
