The FortiGate 31G (FG-31G-BDL-950-12) is a cornerstone for modern branch security, integrating firewalling, SD-WAN, and security functions into a single, power-efficient appliance. Built on a patented SD-WAN-based ASIC and powered by the FortiOS operating system, it delivers strong performance for distributed enterprise sites while reducing cost and power consumption. This unit includes 30 GB of onboard storage for localized logging and data management at the branch edge.
The included Unified Threat Protection (UTP) bundle combines FortiGuard security services with FortiCare Premium for streamlined operations and support. It helps protect against network and web-based threats while enabling centralized management and visibility for small to mid-size businesses and remote office locations.
