Features
|
Application Availability
|
The FortiBalancer series of appliances deliver 99.999% uptime for enterprise application services with intelligent local, global and link load balancing. These appliances provide health check mechanisms for automatic fail over of application
services. This results in 24x7 application availability while reducing business continuity risks.

|
Application Aware Intelligence and Control
|
The application aware appliance eliminates application performance bottlenecks, reduces application deployment complexity and provides seamless application integration. These appliances are fully aware of Layers 4 through 7 application traffic, connections, transactions, and content.
This enables IT departments to create event-driven policies for intelligent distribution of application traffic across web and application servers, while eliminating the need to replicate content across multiple servers. Using the platform APIs, IT administrators can integrate FortiBalancer appliances with virtualized IT infrastructures to dynamically provision IT resources based on real-time application traffic demands.

|
SSL and Server Offloading
|
Response times and server utilization are dramatically increased as the FortiBalancer series appliances offloads server intensive 1024-bit and 2048-bit SSL processing, TCP connection management, data compression and HTTP request processing from servers.
|
|
Unified Voice, Video and Data Delivery
|
The FortiBalancer series appliances are optimized for unified delivery of voice, video and data application services with its rich set of load balancing and content switching policies. These appliances can support multiple virtual IPs for enabling individual application services, with a given set of availability, acceleration and security policies that are specific to delivering voice, video or data.
