The Fortinet FortiGate 4801F is a high-performance Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) engineered for hyperscale data centers and service providers handling high-volume traffic. Built on Fortinet's specialized SPU NP7 and CP9 security processing units, this 4U rackmount appliance delivers up to 3.1 Tbps IPv4 firewall throughput and 3.6 μs firewall latency (64 byte, UDP) to help minimize performance impact during security inspection.
With high-speed connectivity, including 8x 400GE/200GE/100GE/40GE QSFP-DD slots, 12x 200GE/100GE/40GE QSFP56/28 slots, and 12x 50GE/25GE/10GE/GE SFP56/28 slots, the FG-4801F supports dense, high-bandwidth deployments and segmentation at scale. Dual 1.92TB internal SSDs provide local storage for logging and related use cases, supporting operational needs in large environments.
