The FortiGate 50G series is designed to transform WAN architecture and provide robust perimeter protection for distributed enterprise locations. As a cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric, it integrates networking and security into a single operating system, FortiOS. This approach eliminates security silos and enhances operational efficiency through automated workflows and deep analytics.
Powered by the patented SP5 Security Processing Unit (SPU), the 50G delivers high-speed performance that significantly exceeds traditional CPU-based firewalls while reducing power consumption. This bundle includes five years of FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP).
Advanced Converged Networking and Security Powered by SP5 ASIC
- Accelerated Performance: Delivers up to 5 / 5 / 4 Gbps firewall throughput (1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP packets) and up to 1.3 Gbps SSL inspection throughput.
- 5-Year AI-Powered UTP Services: Provides integrated IPS, malware protection, and URL/DNS/Video filtering for 5 years.
- Secure SD-WAN: Features fast application identification and path steering for an optimized cloud application experience.
- Hardware-Based Trust: Includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to store cryptographic keys and a physical signed firmware switch for system integrity.
- Unified Management: Simplifies branch operations with zero-touch provisioning and centralized control via FortiManager and FortiGate Cloud.
- Quiet and Reliable: Fanless desktop design is ideal for office environments, offering 0 dBA noise level and high meantime between failures.
- Eco-Efficient Design: SP5 technology provides high performance with low power consumption and reduced heat dissipation.
