Fortinet FortiAnalyzer 3100G (3,000 GB/Day) Log Analytics Appliance (FAZ-3100G)

When daily log volume across a Fortinet deployment reaches thousands of gigabytes, the FortiAnalyzer 3100G provides the ingestion bandwidth and local storage to match. Rated at 3,000 GB/day, which is more than four times the throughput of the FortiAnalyzer 1000G, this appliance targets large enterprise networks, NOC environments, and managed security providers where log data underpins both active threat detection and long-term compliance retention.

Overview

The FAZ-3100G ingests up to 3,000 GB of log data per day from connected Fortinet Security Fabric members and stores it on 64TB of onboard capacity. Two GE RJ45 ports handle management and standard collection paths, while two 25GE SFP28 uplinks allow high-throughput collection from aggregated core segments or high-density FortiGate clusters generating large log streams.

FortiAnalyzer 3100G delivers the same platform capabilities found across the FortiAnalyzer line: real-time event correlation, automated IOC detection, compliance reporting for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST, and ISO 27001, plus forensic log search with timeline reconstruction. At this capacity tier, those capabilities scale to environments with hundreds or thousands of Fortinet devices reporting concurrently.

The FAZ-3100G is a hardware appliance. FortiCare support and any FortiAnalyzer subscription licenses are sold separately and should be included in the deployment budget from the start.

Who it suits

The FortiAnalyzer 3100G is the right choice for large enterprises, government departments, telecommunications providers, and MSSPs whose Fortinet environments produce log volumes that a mid-range appliance cannot absorb within a single day. Organizations running hundreds of FortiGate firewalls, large FortiSwitch fabrics, or dense FortiAP deployments across multiple sites typically land in the 1,000-3,000+ GB/day range once all devices are reporting.

Security operations centers that require forensic-grade retention spanning months or years across a broad device estate benefit from the 64TB local storage, reducing reliance on external archival for recent data. Compliance programs with strict log integrity and retention mandates, including Canadian federal and provincial privacy frameworks, fit well at this tier. MSSPs that need a dedicated high-capacity analytics node for a major client account will also find the 3100G appropriately scaled.
