Fortinet FortiGate firewalls

Size by where the firewall sits and how much inspected traffic it carries. A 1–50 user branch is well served by a 30G to 90G; a 50–500 user campus by the 120G to 900G; a data-center core by the 1800F and up. When you are between two models, choose the larger one so security features keep headroom.

It is the throughput with full inspection turned on, IPS, antivirus and application control running together. Firewall throughput looks higher because it measures plain forwarding. Real-world protected traffic tracks the threat-protection number, so it is the honest figure to plan around.

Yes, for threat protection. The appliance handles firewall and SD-WAN on its own, but IPS, antivirus, web filtering and the rest come from a FortiGuard bundle (ATP, UTP or Enterprise) billed per appliance per term. Most SMBs pick UTP. We can scope the right tier for you.

All hardware is brand-new and factory-sealed, sourced as an Authorized Fortinet Select Partner. Shipping is free across Canada, typically 0–1 business days. Licenses and renewals are delivered electronically worldwide, usually within hours.

Yes. The same FortiOS runs on hardware, FortiGate-VM, and cloud-native instances for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so policies stay consistent across on-premises and hybrid environments under one management model.

Legacy models can still be supported through FortiCare and FortiGuard renewals while you plan an upgrade. We will keep your current unit covered and map the closest current-generation replacement when you are ready. See our legacy and EOL models page for the upgrade paths.
