The Fortinet FortiGate 900G-DC Series firewall combines artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security and machine learning (ML) to deliver threat protection at scale. Driven by Fortinet’s patented Network Processor 7 (NP7) and the ninth-generation Content Processor (CP9), this appliance delivers superior performance, including up to 42 Gbps of IPS throughput and 74.8 Gbps of Application Control throughput. Featuring dual hot swappable DC power supplies, the FG-900G-DC is purpose-built to integrate seamlessly into telecom and service provider data center environments, ensuring continuous, high-speed security for massive traffic volumes. This bundle includes FortiCare Premium + FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) for 1 Year.
Tailored for high-bandwidth infrastructures, the FortiGate 900G-DC offers an extensive and flexible interface set, including four 25GE/10GE SFP28/SFP+ ultra-low latency slots, four 10GE/GE SFP+/SFP slots, eight GE SFP slots, 17x GE RJ45 ports (including 1x management port and 16x switch ports), and a dedicated 2.5GE/GE HA port. It incorporates a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a dedicated hardware module that hardens the appliance by generating, storing, and authenticating cryptographic keys. The redundant dual hot swappable DC power supplies included by default provide the mission-critical uptime and high availability required in modern carrier networks and core enterprise facilities.
