OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 401F is for

The FortiGate 401F is Fortinet’s mid-range enterprise next-generation firewall with onboard storage, powered by the NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor. It is the FortiGate 400F platform with 2x 480 GB SSD added for local logging and reporting. It delivers 9 Gbps of threat protection, 12 Gbps IPS throughput, 79.5 Gbps firewall throughput, and 7.8 million concurrent sessions in a 1U rack appliance — with hot-swappable dual AC power supplies, four 10GE SFP+ ultra-low-latency uplinks, and eight GE SFP slots. Ideal for enterprise campus cores and data centre edge deployments that need high firewall throughput plus on-box logs without sending everything to FortiAnalyzer.
