Fortinet FortiGate 901G UTP, 1-Year (FG-901G-BDL-950-12)

When a project timeline, annual budget cycle, or a forthcoming hardware refresh makes a longer commitment impractical, the 1-year UTP bundle lets you deploy the FortiGate 901G at full protection capability without locking in beyond your current planning horizon. Unlike the 900G, the 901G ships with 2x 480 GB of onboard storage already installed, adding local log retention from day one. With 26 Gbps IPS, 22 Gbps NGFW, and 20 Gbps threat protection throughput, the appliance handles full-inspection workloads at campus or regional edge scale — covered under this 12-month UTP subscription from the activation date.

What the bundle includes

FG-901G-BDL-950-12 combines the FortiGate 901G hardware with a 1-year Unified Threat Protection subscription activated on registration. The table below shows how UTP coverage compares to the ATP and Enterprise bundle tiers so you can confirm which services are active under this SKU.

What UTP covers

UTP adds three service layers on top of what ATP provides. URL filtering evaluates web destinations against Fortinet’s categorized threat intelligence feeds and blocks access to malicious, phishing, or policy-restricted sites. DNS filtering catches command-and-control callbacks and malware staging domains at the resolver level before a TCP connection completes. Video filtering gives administrators platform-level controls over streaming destinations. Anti-spam processing inspects inbound email headers and body content to block phishing attempts and unsolicited messages before they reach mailboxes. Data loss prevention (DLP) monitors outbound sessions for sensitive patterns, including credit-card numbers, file types, and custom regular expressions, to prevent data exfiltration. Both ATP and UTP include firewall, VPN, SD-WAN, application control, IPS, anti-malware with cloud sandboxing, and FortiCare support.

Who it suits

Three buyer situations make the 1-year UTP term the right fit. First, organizations conducting a structured proof-of-concept or phased rollout who need to validate the 901G’s performance under production load before committing to a longer service agreement. Second, procurement teams aligned to annual capital budgets who prefer renewal decisions to land in the same fiscal window each year. Third, Canadian enterprises with a hardware refresh already scheduled within 12 to 18 months who need full content-aware security in the interim without paying for unused years of service. The 901G’s 2x 480 GB onboard storage supports local log analysis during the evaluation period without requiring a separate logging appliance.

Other terms & models

If your deployment horizon extends past one year, the 3-year bundle (FG-901G-BDL-950-36) reduces the effective per-year subscription cost, and the 5-year bundle (FG-901G-BDL-950-60) delivers the lowest annual cost for stable long-term deployments. Organizations that do not need onboard storage can evaluate the FortiGate 900G series (FG-900G-BDL-950-12), which provides the same port count and throughput in a 1RU chassis without the drives. To add attack surface management, security rating, and OT industrial signatures, the Enterprise bundle tier covers those capabilities.
