Data center firewalls live or die by uptime requirements. The FortiGate 2601F-DC is built around that reality: dual -48V DC power supplies for carrier-grade redundancy, 2x 960GB NVMe SSDs for on-device logging and analytics, and NP7 + CP9 ASICs that push 198 Gbps of IPv4 firewall throughput without a software penalty. This hardware-only SKU (FG-2601F-DC) ships license-free, giving your team full control over which FortiGuard services and support tiers to activate.
The FG-2601F-DC ships as a 2RU rack appliance with dual DC power supplies pre-installed and two SFP+ (SR 10GE) transceivers included. No software licenses are bundled. The port breakdown is:

Three scenarios stand out for the 2601F-DC. First, organizations running -48V DC-powered data centers or telecom infrastructure gain a native fit: no AC/DC conversion, no adapters, and the 1+1 hot-swap PSU design keeps the unit running through a supply failure. Second, teams that need local forensic log capacity without a separate FortiAnalyzer appliance benefit directly from the 2x 960GB NVMe SSDs. Third, high-density core deployments appreciate the 36-port high-speed interface count — 16x 25GE SFP28, 4x 100GE QSFP28, plus 16x 10GE RJ45 — all hardware-accelerated through the NP7 ASIC at wire speed and sub-4 µs latency.
This SKU makes sense when you already hold active FortiGuard contracts or are migrating an existing device with transferable entitlements. You can add services later through the FC-10-F26F1 subscription family. If you prefer day-one protection, the bundled options (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-950 for UTP and FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809 for Enterprise) include FortiCare Premium support and a FortiGuard security tier from the moment the appliance powers on. The bundle route also simplifies procurement for teams that want a single purchase order covering both hardware and licensing.
The FG-2601F-DC is a practical choice for large enterprises, colocation providers, and managed security service providers that run DC-powered environments. Organizations applying NGFW inspection at north-south data center boundaries, segmenting multi-tenant infrastructure (up to 500 VDOMs), or running Hyperscale use cases such as CGNAT, NAT64, and GTP-U inspection for 5G networks will find the throughput and port density appropriate. The HA clustering support also suits pairs or larger groups of appliances in high-availability cores.
If your throughput or port requirements outgrow the 2601F-DC, the FortiGate 3001F (FG-3001F) is the next step in the high-end enterprise lineup with further headroom. For hyperscale or carrier-grade deployments, the FortiGate 4200F series adds additional VDOM scale and performance. Both models are available in Canada at DataCenter360.ca.
