Description
Fortinet FortiGate FG-600F
The Fortinet FortiGate FG-600F is a next-generation firewall that inspects traffic, enforces policy, and plugs into the Fortinet Security Fabric. It is managed from FortiManager or FortiCloud, and its SPU hardware acceleration keeps inspection fast under load.
Key specifications
| Hardware Accelerated GE RJ45 Interfaces | 16 |
| GE RJ45 MGMT/HA Ports | 2 |
| USB Ports | 2 |
| IPS Throughput | 14 Gbps |
| Threat Protection Throughput | 10.5 Gbps |
| IPv4 Firewall Throughput (1518 / 512 / 64 byte, UDP) | 139 / 137.5 / 70 Gbps |
Why choose it
- Purpose-built performance. Fortinet SPU acceleration handles inspection in hardware, not just software.
- Security Fabric integration. Firewall, switching, and wireless managed and correlated together.
- FortiGuard services deliver the threat intelligence, IPS signatures, and web filtering updates.
- Sourced and supported by Nuformat across Canada and the USA.
What the subscription includes
FortiCare provides hardware support and firmware updates. FortiGuard delivers the security services: IPS, antivirus, web filtering, application control, and threat intelligence. Both are required to keep protection current.
Frequently asked questions
Which FortiGate model do I need? Tell us your user count, internet speed, and whether you need SD-WAN. We will confirm the right model and licence bundle.
What is the difference between UTP and Enterprise Protection? UTP covers the core security services for most businesses. Enterprise adds further services for larger or more regulated environments. Ask us to compare for your case.
Do I need a subscription with the hardware? Yes. Without FortiCare and FortiGuard the firewall runs but stops receiving security updates and support.
Can I pay monthly? Ask Nuformat about monthly billing options for Fortinet, managed by us as your MSP.
