Role of the FortiGate-3810D-DC-NEBS:
A NEBS-capable, DC-powered firewall engineered for carrier and data center environments requiring rugged design and sustained high performance.
Evolving Traffic Patterns:
Dense east-west traffic, encrypted microservices, and containerized workloads require massive throughput and low-latency inspection.
Modern Demands:
NVMe/ASIC acceleration, scalable TLS/SSL handling, granular telemetry, and cloud-orchestrated enforcement are key requirements.
Strategic Upgrade:
Select NEBS-grade platforms with higher inspection capacity, simplified orchestration integrations, and consolidated security services to reduce operational complexity.
No Security Patches
Outdated devices won’t receive updates, leaving your network exposed to new vulnerabilities.
Lack of Vendor Support
Once support ends, there’s no access to Fortinet’s technical resources or RMA services.
Compliance Failures
Auditors may flag unsupported hardware as a violation of security and industry standards.
Operational Instability
Legacy devices may struggle with modern workloads, encrypted traffic, and cloud integrations.
Lifecycle Planning:
Track Fortinet GA → EOS → EOL → EOSL.
Seamless Migration:
Dedicated engineers ensure minimal downtime.
Future-Proof Security:
Replace with next-gen models aligned to your needs.
