The FortiGate 3960E is a high-end E-series data-center firewall for large service-provider and carrier cores, with multiple 100GE interfaces.
It is now a legacy model. Fortinet stopped accepting new orders on 2023-12-29, so DataCenter360.ca supplies FortiGuard and FortiCare renewals for units already in service rather than new appliances. Renewal coverage is available to 2027-12-29; support ends 2028-12-29. Every renewal SKU we can supply is listed in the tables below, with live pricing.
Planning a replacement? The FortiGate 4400F is the current-generation equivalent. FortiOS policies and FortiGuard subscriptions carry across, and FortiConverter can do the configuration migration — ask us to quote it. Lifecycle dates for the whole catalog are on the Fortinet end-of-life page.

High-end E-series data-center firewall for large service-provider and carrier cores, with multiple 100GE interfaces.
No. The FortiGate 3960E passed End of Order on 2023-12-29, so Fortinet no longer sells new units. DataCenter360.ca supplies FortiGuard and FortiCare renewals for appliances already in service. For a new deployment, see the FortiGate 4400F.
Renewals are available until 2027-12-29, and Fortinet support for the platform ends 2028-12-29. After that the appliance stops receiving signature updates, firmware fixes and TAC support. All available renewal SKUs are listed on this page with live pricing.
The FortiGate 4400F is the current-generation equivalent. It runs current FortiOS with the same FortiGuard service catalog, so policies and subscriptions carry over, and FortiConverter can migrate the configuration. Ask us to size it against your actual throughput.
