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-authorised Fortinet reseller, Servnet provides access to the complete Fortinet portfolio with local expert support and fast UK delivery.

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.
