RackForce Chooses FortiGate for Server Security [September 8, 2004]

September 8, 2004 – Kelowna BC Canada - After extensive research and testing, RackForce is pleased to announce the launch of its new managed security services based on the award-winning FortiGate series of ASIC accelerated anti-virus firewalls.

“Our customers are looking to us for leadership in network threat reduction. We needed a product powerful enough to be placed at the network edge and flexible enough to keep pace with ever-changing Internet threats. The FortiGate platform closes the door to spam, viruses, and network attacks in real-time without affecting server or network performance,” stated Craig Skelton, the Network Manager at RackForce. “The FortiGate products can be deployed in a matter of minutes for any RackForce customer. Many of our customers see instant benefits.”

RackForce is now offering the following managed security services; firewall with intrusion detection, virus filtering, or spam tagging, in any combination or the full package. With the full package the system can detect and eliminate the most damaging content-based threats originating from email and web traffic, and unlike host-based solutions this is all done transparently without affecting performance of the server.
