hi folks, could someone shed me aside from hardware/device failure HA is beneficial to me, is there any docs that could convinced me that having HA A-A could boost/increase the performance/capacity of my firewall?

Hello,

I suggest you to read this document: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/2765/fortigate-ha-54.pdf

Here you have an extract:

"By default, active- active HA load balancing distributes proxy- based security profile processing to all cluster units. Proxy- based security profile processing is CPU and memory- intensive, so FGCP load balancing may result in higher throughput because resource- intensive processing is distributed among all cluster units."

I hope this information will help you.

Regards,
