The Fortinet FortiGate 901G Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to provide comprehensive 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 42 Gbps of IPS throughput and 74.8 Gbps of Application Control throughput. The inclusion of 960GB of onboard SSD storage supports local logging and reporting for improved visibility. This bundle includes 1 Year FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP).
Designed for modern, high-bandwidth networks, the FortiGate 901G features a versatile array of interfaces, including four 25 GE SFP28 slots, four 10 GE SFP+ slots, eight 1 GE SFP slots, sixteen GE RJ45 switch ports, a dedicated GE RJ45 management port, and a 2.5 GE/GE HA port. It incorporates a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to harden physical networking appliances by generating, storing, and authenticating cryptographic keys. With redundant dual hot-swappable AC power supplies included by default, the FG-901G offers the resilience needed for mission-critical deployments in data centers, campus edges, and hybrid environments.
