The Fortinet FortiGate 901G-DC Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is engineered to deliver unified threat management and secure networking for demanding enterprise and service provider environments. It achieves up to 42 Gbps of IPS throughput and 31 Gbps of NGFW throughput, accelerated by the NP7 and CP9 security processors. This model is designed for continuous operation and provides dual DC power supplies for data center and telecom rack deployments.
The FG-901G-DC provides deep visibility and advanced security functions, leveraging the integrated 960GB of onboard SSD storage for local logging and analytics. The flexible, high-density interface configuration includes 25 GE SFP28 ultra-low latency slots, 10GE/GE SFP+/SFP slots, 8x GE SFP slots, and 16x GE RJ45 switch ports plus dedicated management and HA ports for segmenting and connecting critical network zones at multi-gig speeds.
