Performance Fortigate 600E vs 2500E

Hi!

 

I am a bit confused about the performance guidelines in the current product matrix.

 

Threat Protection Throughput:

Fortigate 600E: 7 Gbps

Fortigate 2000E: 5.4 Gbps

Fortigate 2500E: 5.4 Gbps

 

--> 600E is faster than 2500E, which costs 6 times more.

 

Did you see these values in your setups, or is there a fault in the product matrix?

 

Thank you and best wishes,

Stril

Looking at more fuller specs between the 500E and 2500E, TPT (and SSL-VPN Throughput) is just about the only metric where the 600E beats the 2500E.  I can only assume the difference is the hardware driving the ports on each model.

Hi!

 

Yes, but FG 2500E should be a beast compared to the mid-size 600E.

I can understand, that E-series models do sometimes outperform higher D-series models, but here, 600E does just not fit. The IPS-performance of the devices above 600E is not very high.
