OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 401F-DC is for

The FortiGate 401F-DC is the DC-powered, SSD-equipped member of the FortiGate 400F series. Performance is identical to the AC-powered 401F: 79.5 Gbps of IPv4/IPv6 firewall throughput, 12 Gbps of IPS, 10 Gbps of NGFW and 9 Gbps of threat protection, with 7.8 million concurrent sessions, accelerated by Fortinet's NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor.

Two things set this SKU apart. It takes -48 to -60 VDC instead of mains AC, which is what central offices, carrier facilities and DC-bussed data-center rows supply; and it carries 2x 480 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. If your rack is AC-fed, order the FortiGate 401F instead — the DC unit cannot run from a standard outlet.

Interfaces include 4x 10GE SFP+, 4x 10GE SFP+ ultra-low-latency slots (2.5 µs), 8x GE SFP and 16x hardware-accelerated GE RJ45, with a TPM for secure boot and key storage. FortiOS consolidates NGFW, SD-WAN, SSL inspection, ZTNA and FortiGuard services on one appliance.

USE CASES

Where the 401F-DC fits

DC-powered facilities
-48 VDC input matches telco central offices, carrier hotels and DC-bussed data-center rows with no inverter.
On-box logging
2x 480 GB SSD keep traffic logs and reports local, useful where a central collector is not reachable.
Ultra-low latency
4x ULL SFP+ ports cut firewall latency to 2.5 µs for latency-sensitive east-west traffic.
Secure SD-WAN hub
55 Gbps IPsec VPN and FortiOS SD-WAN terminate branch overlays at the head end.
