India-based data center and enterprise cloud-based services provider NxtGen Datacenter & Cloud Technologies has deployed Fortinet's security solutions and appliances at its data center to provide high-speed managed security services to businesses in India.
The solutions and appliances deployed include network security platform FortiGate, FortiManager for centralized network management, and centralized reporting appliance FortiAnalyzer.
NxtGen's services are provided either from its own Tier-III data center (HDDC) facilities, or deployed on on-premise data centers (OPDC) that are managed centrally. Together, the HDDCs and OPDCs form NxtGen's enterprise cloud services (ECS), comprising private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
The Fortinet deployment enables NxtGen to offer customizable cloud security services that gives customers the flexibility to set up firewall at their own preferences. Their enterprise cloud services also provide gateway level advance threat protection with traffic scanning and reporting.
NxtGen chose Fortinet over competing network security players for its "performance, effective single pane management and simple per-box licensing model," according to Fortinet in a media statement.
By deploying FortiGate's network security platform at NxtGen's 24/7 command center, the service provider has created a virtualized security architecture for its host servers. The data center has enabled advanced threat protection by activating security features like IPS, application control, web filtering, VPN, WAN optimization and user authentication.
