From Startup to Global Cybersecurity Leader
Founded in 2000 by brothers Ken Xie and Michael Xie in Sunnyvale, California, Fortinet began with a single goal: to build a purpose-built network security appliance that outperformed general-purpose CPU-based competitors. The company shipped its first FortiGate ASIC-accelerated firewall in 2002 — establishing the hardware-acceleration philosophy that still defines Fortinet products today.
Today, Fortinet is the world's largest cybersecurity company by installed base, with over 730,000 customers across 190+ countries and more than 12,500 employees globally. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ (FTNT) and consistently ranked as a top-10 global cybersecurity vendor by revenue. Fortinet has shipped over 10 million security appliances — more than any other security vendor in history.
Fortinet's UK presence spans government, NHS, financial services, retail, manufacturing, and education sectors. As a UK Fortinet partner, Servnet provides access to the complete Fortinet portfolio with local expert support and fast UK delivery.

Six Reasons Fortinet Leads the Market
The World's Best-Selling NGFW Range
FortiGate next-generation firewalls deliver hardware-accelerated threat protection, built-in SD-WAN, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) in a single platform — from compact desktop models to terabit-class chassis systems. All models run the same FortiOS operating system and share a unified management interface.

FortiSwitch managed switches integrate directly with FortiGate via FortiLink — appearing as an extension of the firewall's switching fabric. Manage VLANs, access policies, and PoE from the same FortiOS interface as your firewall and wireless, eliminating the need for separate switch management infrastructure.

Yes — Servnet is a Fortinet partner delivering FortiGate NGFW, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, FortiSwitch, FortiAP and the wider Security Fabric, with the FortiCare and FortiGuard subscription bundles to match.
Which FortiGate is right for my office or data centre?
For branch and SMB up to 200 users, FortiGate 60F / 80F / 100F sizes fit comfortably. For mid-market HQ, 200F / 400F / 600F handle WAN edge with IPSec / SSL VPN aggregation. For data centre, 1000F / 1800F / 3000F provide 10/25/40 Gbps inspected throughput. Servnet sizing engineers will scope against your real traffic + threat-feature mix.
