The FortiGate 81F-POE-BDL-809-60 is the ideal secure networking device for organizations looking to consolidate their branch office infrastructure without sacrificing performance or visibility. By integrating 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE/+) ports with a 96W budget, the device eliminates the need for a separate switch to power access points, IP phones, and cameras, reducing cabling and complexity. Furthermore, the included 128GB SSD supports local storage for logs, helping improve visibility and on-device reporting capability.
This Firewall operates on FortiOS, enabling unified networking and security and secure SD-WAN capabilities. Accelerated by the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP4, the FG-81F-POE delivers low latency and strong performance, including up to 1.4 Gbps of IPS throughput and 6.5 Gbps of IPsec VPN throughput to support a robust user experience and centralized protection. This bundle includes FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection for 5 years.
