The FortiGate 3500F Series enables organizations to build security-driven networks, forming the foundation of a robust Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture. This high-performance next-generation firewall (NGFW) weaves security deep into datacenters and across hybrid IT environments, protecting any edge at any scale. Powered by Fortinet's patented SPU NP7 and CP9 processors, the FG-3500F delivers unparalleled performance with hardware acceleration for critical network functions, ensuring that security never becomes a bottleneck.
Designed for hyperscale environments, the FortiGate 3500F consolidates networking and security to deliver ultra-scalable secure networks. It features the industry's first integrated Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement within an NGFW solution, automatically controlling and verifying user access to applications. With rich AI/ML-based FortiGuard Services and an integrated security fabric platform, this appliance delivers coordinated, automated, end-to-end threat protection across all use cases, from the data center to the hybrid cloud.
High Performance with Flexibility and Hyperscale Security
- Unparalleled Performance: Delivers up to 595 / 590 / 420 Gbps IPv4 firewall throughput (1518/512/64 byte UDP) and 72 Gbps IPS throughput, powered by SPU NP7 and CP9 processors to accelerate security functions and reduce latency.
- Hyperscale Scalability: Supports 140 million / 348 million concurrent TCP sessions and 1 million / 5 million new sessions per second (requires Hyperscale Firewall License for boosted values) for high-volume traffic environments.
- Integrated ZTNA: Integrated Zero Trust Network Access enforcement to control and verify user access to applications, reducing lateral threats and supporting a seamless user experience.
- High-Speed Connectivity: Equipped with 6x 100 GE QSFP28 / 40 GE QSFP+ slots and 32x 25 GE SFP28 / 10 GE SFP+ / GE SFP slots, plus 2x 10 GE / GE RJ45 management ports for flexible, high-density deployments.
- AI-Powered Security: AI/ML-powered security services help protect against ransomware, malware, zero-day threats, and sophisticated attacks, with coordinated protection across use cases.
- Energy Efficient: Energy-efficient SPU/ASIC design supports high inspection performance while reducing power consumption and improving total cost of ownership.
- Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): Secures enterprise networks with real-time SSL inspection (including TLS 1.3) and full visibility into users, devices, and applications.
- Data Center Segmentation: Adapts to any network topology with dynamic segmentation and ultra-scalable, low-latency VXLAN segmentation to bridge physical and virtual domains.
- Hyperscale Architectures: Consolidates networking and security with purpose-built SPUs to support massive connection counts and protect business-critical applications.
