Fortinet FortiGate 901G UTP, 3-Year (FG-901G-BDL-950-36)

Three years aligns FortiGate 901G service coverage with a typical campus or distributed-branch infrastructure lifecycle, eliminating the annual renewal cycle while keeping a realistic refresh window before the 5-year mark. FG-901G-BDL-950-36 activates the full UTP stack — 26 Gbps IPS, 22 Gbps NGFW, 20 Gbps threat protection — across the 901G’s 16 GE RJ45, 8 GE SFP, 4 hardware-accelerated 25GE SFP28, and 4 10GE SFP+ ports, backed by 2x 480 GB of onboard storage for on-appliance log retention across the full term. The subscription runs continuously from registration date with no annual reauthorization required.

What the bundle includes

FG-901G-BDL-950-36 packages the FortiGate 901G hardware with a 3-year Unified Threat Protection subscription. The comparison below shows which services are active under UTP versus the ATP and Enterprise tiers, so you can confirm coverage before purchase.

What UTP covers

Unified Threat Protection builds on ATP’s detection and prevention capabilities by adding content-aware and data-governance services. URL filtering evaluates web destinations against Fortinet’s continuously updated threat intelligence and category feeds, blocking malicious and policy-restricted sites. DNS filtering intercepts malicious domain resolutions before a connection is established, catching command-and-control traffic at the earliest possible stage. Video filtering applies platform- and category-level policy controls to streaming destinations. Anti-spam analysis inspects inbound email headers and message content to reduce phishing delivery and unsolicited-message volume. Data loss prevention scans outbound sessions for sensitive content patterns — credit-card numbers, file-type policies, and custom regular expressions — to prevent both inadvertent and deliberate exfiltration. ATP services (IPS, anti-malware, sandboxing, app control, FortiCare) are fully included alongside these additions.

Who it suits

FG-901G-BDL-950-36 is the practical choice for Canadian organizations planning network security on a 3-year capital cycle. Multi-site enterprises consolidating branch-edge traffic through a FortiGate 901G benefit from a single subscription that covers IPS, content filtering, anti-spam, and DLP simultaneously without annual renewal coordination across sites. Teams that carry compliance obligations requiring evidence of continuous security service will find a 36-month subscription simpler to document than a sequence of annual renewals. The 901G’s 2x 480 GB onboard storage supports three years of local log retention on-appliance, reducing dependence on external syslog infrastructure during the term and providing readily accessible audit trails.

Other terms & models

If annual budget alignment is a requirement, the 1-year bundle (FG-901G-BDL-950-12) covers the same UTP services on a shorter commitment. For the lowest effective per-year cost and a fully committed long-term deployment, the 5-year bundle (FG-901G-BDL-950-60) is the better value. Organizations that do not require onboard storage can consider the FortiGate 900G series (FG-900G-BDL-950-36), which shares the same port configuration and throughput profile without the 2x 480 GB drives. The Enterprise bundle tier adds attack surface management, security rating, and OT industrial signatures for environments that need those capabilities.
