The FortiGate 3701F Series is designed for organizations requiring a hyperscale security solution that integrates seamlessly into hybrid IT environments. By consolidating networking and security into a single platform, this firewall reduces complexity while offering deep visibility into applications, users, and threats. It supports a Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture, weaving security deep into the data center and across distributed networks to protect any edge at any scale. The device is powered by Fortinet’s proprietary SPU technology, ensuring that critical security functions such as SSL inspection and threat protection do not become performance bottlenecks.
At the core of the FortiGate 3701F are the Network Processor 7 (NP7) and Content Processor 9 (CP9). The NP7 works in line with FortiOS to deliver hyperscale firewall capabilities, ultra-low latency, and accelerated session setup for demanding, high-throughput environments. The CP9 acts as a co-processor to offload resource-intensive tasks like SSL decryption and pattern matching. This model distinguishes itself with 2x 1.92TB of internal SSD storage, providing ample capacity for local logging and data retention, which is critical for compliance and in-depth forensic analysis.
