United States : FORTINET, IXIA team up to validate firewall performance for some of the world's most demanding networks [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) A world leader in high-performance network security, Fortinet has joined hands with Ixia, a provider of network testing, monitoring, security upgrades and optimisation. The partnership will see the two companies validating firewall performance for some of the most demanding networks in the world. Many university campus networks have failed to maintain the extreme performance of super fast Internet2 network flows so far through business-class campus firewall deployments which has forced many to bypass best practice security efforts. Ixia vice-president of enterprise marketing, Fred Kost, said : "When building and testing 100G networks like Internet2, raw performance is often top of mind. But to get a true test environment for validating network performance and security, it's necessary to simulate the mix of real-world application traffic and the security attacks found on production networks. The Ixia PerfectStorm application and security test platform allow Fortinet to test and validate their next-gen firewalls with 100GbE support to deliver the highest levels of performance for their customers." Director of Information Systems Security, University of Southern California, Robert Lau, "100G over Internet2 allows us to transfer information that would not be possible at 10 Gig because of the large data size. Securing USC's Internet2 is critical to ensuring against loss or theft of irreplaceable research data, sensitive health and personal information, and other valuable intellectual property."
