FortiModules Bypass Modules Features & Benefits

Fortinet ASM-CX4 and ASM-FX2 modules provide bypass functionality to FortiGate multi-threat security systems equipped with an available single-width Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) expansion bay. The ASM-CX4 is a single-width AMC module which provides four (4) 10/100/1000 copper (RJ-45) Ethernet interfaces for two protected segments of network traffic. The ASM-FX2 is a single-width AMC module which provides two (2) gigabit fiber (LC, 850nm) Ethernet interfaces for a single protected segment of network traffic. Operating in transparent mode during normal operation, both modules automatically bridge network traffic in the event of a system failure or power outage to ensure mission-critical network continuity.

We think highly of the FortiGate appliances ability to provide various security functions within one appliance, rather than forcing us to implement specific security software one by one. In addition, we liked its clear fee structure for initial licensing based on an annual per store cost. The deployment of FortiGate appliances enabled us to share a huge amount of data in a secure manner. We plan to drive further development, including a management system to understand all aspects of our outlets, such as photo shooting status, the delivery of commercial messages to our customers to highlight our outlets and the delivery of streaming images to our employees as part of training. Furthermore, we will consider developing a dedicated store system tailored for digital photography, rather than use a common POS system for retail outlets modified for photo studios.
