Fortinet FG-100F-BDL-950-36 FortiGate 100F Network Security/Firewall Appliance

The Fortinet FG-100F-BDL-950-36 is a network security appliance that brings enterprise-grade protection and speed to growing organizations. It integrates firewall, VPN, and advanced threat intelligence in a single 1U unit, helping security teams keep users productive and data safe without adding complexity.

Twenty-two onboard ports give administrators plenty of options for connecting branch offices, core switches, or high-speed uplinks. Copper interfaces handle everyday traffic, while SFP and SFP+ slots accept fiber modules for 10 Gb Ethernet backbones or longer runs between racks and floors. This flexibility makes the appliance an easy fit whether you manage an open-plan headquarters or several remote sites that must share resources securely.

Under the hood, a FortiASIC SOC4 processor accelerates critical tasks so security policies do not slow the network. The unit can inspect traffic at up to 20 Gbps for firewall rules and maintains up to 11.5 Gbps when traffic is encrypted through VPN tunnels. Even deep SSL inspection remains responsive, which helps enforce compliance without a noticeable impact on user experience.

Every unit in this bundle arrives with three years of FortiCare support and FortiGuard security services. That subscription feeds the appliance fresh threat intelligence, real-time malware signatures, and automated updates that recognize new exploits as they appear. Administrators can manage policies through a single web console or tie the device into Fortinet’s broader Security Fabric for centralized visibility across multiple locations.

Mid-sized companies, school districts, healthcare facilities, and distributed retailers will appreciate how quickly the FortiGate 100F scales. It supports up to 2500 overlay tunnels, allowing branches to connect securely over public links while still benefiting from a unified security posture.
