Fortinet FortiSwitch 1024E

Data center top-of-rack and aggregation switch with 24x 1/10 GE SFP/SFP+ ports and two 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks, delivering 880 Gbps of switching at roughly 1 microsecond latency in a 1RU chassis with dual hot-swappable AC power. Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS, FortiGate switch-controller (FortiLink) compatible so server-room switching folds into the Security Fabric — data only, no PoE. Built for low-latency east-west traffic, server and storage connectivity and high-density 10G aggregation, with dual redundant power for always-on operation.

OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 1024E is for

The FortiSwitch 1024E is a data center class switch built for low-latency 10-gigabit aggregation and top-of-rack deployment. It provides 24 ports of 1/10 GE on SFP/SFP+ for server, storage and uplink connectivity, plus two flexible 40/100 GE QSFP28 ports for high-speed aggregation to the core or spine. With 880 Gbps of switching capacity and roughly 1 microsecond latency, it handles east-west traffic and high-density 10G fan-out with headroom. Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies keep it running through a power event, and Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS handles segmentation and routing. As a FortiGate switch-controller compatible switch, it is managed over FortiLink and joins the Security Fabric — one console for switching and security, no separate controller. Need 10GBASE-T copper instead of fiber? The FortiSwitch T1024E offers the same platform with 24 RJ45 ports.

FAQ

FortiSwitch 1024E frequently asked questions

Yes — the 1024E is a current FortiSwitch data center series switch, actively sold and supported, not on an end-of-order schedule.

No. The 1024E is a data center aggregation switch with no Power over Ethernet — it is built for fiber server and uplink connectivity. If you need PoE on 10GBASE-T copper, the FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE delivers 802.3bt power on the same 1024 platform.

24 ports of 1/10 GE on SFP/SFP+ for server, storage and uplink connectivity, plus two flexible 40/100 GE QSFP28 uplinks for high-speed aggregation. Switching capacity is 880 Gbps at roughly 1 microsecond latency.

Yes. The 1024E ships with dual hot-swappable AC power supplies, so the switch keeps running through a power-supply failure. Spare units are available as FS-PSU-300.

The 1024E uses 24x SFP/SFP+ fiber ports; the T1024E offers the same data center platform with 24x 10GBASE-T copper RJ45 ports. Both provide two 100 GE QSFP28 uplinks and 880 Gbps of switching.

Yes. Hardware ships free and is usually dispatched the same or next business day from stock. FortiCare is delivered electronically, worldwide. We are an authorized Fortinet Select Partner.
