The Fortinet FortiGate 901G-DC Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is engineered to deliver threat protection 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 Fortinet SPU processors (NP7 and CP9). This model supports DC-powered rack deployments with dual hot swappable power supplies and a 48–60VDC input.
The FG-901G-DC provides deep visibility and advanced security functions, leveraging the integrated 960 GB of onboard SSD storage for local logging and data retention. The flexible, high-density interface configuration includes Ultra Low Latency 25 GE SFP28 slots, 10 GE/GE SFP+/SFP slots, 8x GE SFP slots, and 16x GE RJ45 switch ports plus dedicated management and HA ports, offering strong connectivity flexibility for segmenting and connecting critical network zones.
This bundle includes the FortiGate 901G-DC appliance plus FortiCare Premium + FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) (5 Year).
