Appendix N: Performance test results

FortiPAM is a cutting edge platform that inherits the high performance design of the FortiOS platform.

The FortiPAM platform is capable of:

  • Dynamically distributing tasks across multiple CPUs to load balance workload.

  • Improves CPU performance by caching the frequently accessed data.

  • Using asynchronous I/O techniques elevates hard disk and network performance.
