Free White Paper: Next Generation Security for Enterprise Networks
The FortiSwitch-300 series family is ideal for the next generation of LAN switch upgrade where higher productivity is achieved through faster transfer times over dedicated Gigabit Ethernet (GE) connections. The FortiSwitch-324B switch utilizes a 24-port interconnect fabric with 48Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity. This managed switch also provides VLAN segmentation capability for voice, video, data and wireless traffic support. The FortiSwitch-324B-POE is packaged in a compact 1RU form factor and designed to connect network devices to the Ethernet fabric without costly modifications, thereby reducing your overall deployment costs.
The built-in Power over Ethernet power supply in FortiSwitch-324B-POE provides up to 185 Watts of power, shared among all 24 ports. In a typical office setting you can connect PCs/printers and power the wireless APs and VOIP phones. All ports are capable of sourcing 15.4 Watts of power and the first 4 ports are high power ports capable of sourcing up to 30 Watts for demanding devices such as high power wireless access points or motorized security cameras.

Fortinet provides us with a secure environment in a simplified management scheme and very low maintenance. The performance of Fortinet's firewall is second to none. All the required security functions are truly integrated, and the ease of configuration of the FortiGate appliances allowed us to carry out the initial deployment within two weeks in spite of a relatively large and widespread installed base. Today, implementing new VPN tunnels with hotels is a matter of an hour or less. Our goal is to replace the existing ISDN connections from several thousand hotel customers with VPN connections.
