The FortiGate 600E is a 1RU enterprise next-generation firewall built on Fortinet's NP6 network processor and CP9 content processor. It delivers 36 Gbps of IPv4/IPv6 firewall throughput, 10 Gbps of IPS, 9.5 Gbps of NGFW and 7 Gbps of threat protection, with 8 million concurrent sessions and 1.54 µs firewall latency.
Its port mix — 2x 10GE SFP+, 8x GE SFP and 8x hardware-accelerated GE RJ45 — suits campus cores, mid-to-large enterprise edges and internal segmentation where 10GE uplinks are required in a single rack unit. FortiOS consolidates NGFW, SD-WAN, SSL inspection, ZTNA and FortiGuard security services on one appliance, and the 600E manages up to 96 FortiSwitches and 1,024 FortiAPs as a Security Fabric root.
The FortiGate 601E is the same appliance with 2x 240 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. Both models are supported by DataCenter360.ca with hardware, FortiGuard bundles and FortiCare, and licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.

Rack-mount the 600E in a standard 1RU slot; redundant power is available as an option.
No. As of Fortinet’s July 2026 product lifecycle publication the FortiGate 600E and 601E are not listed for end-of-order or end-of-support, so they remain orderable with full FortiGuard and FortiCare coverage. Lifecycle dates for the whole Fortinet catalog are on our Fortinet end-of-life page.
Performance, interfaces and FortiOS features are identical. The FortiGate 601E adds 2x 240 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting; the 600E has no onboard storage. Choose the 601E when you want on-box logs without a dedicated FortiAnalyzer.
The FortiGate 600E delivers 36 Gbps of IPv4/IPv6 firewall throughput, 10 Gbps of IPS, 9.5 Gbps of NGFW and 7 Gbps of threat protection, with 8 million concurrent sessions and 450,000 new sessions per second, accelerated by Fortinet’s NP6 + CP9 SPU.
2x hardware-accelerated 10GE SFP+ slots, 8x hardware-accelerated GE SFP slots, 8x hardware-accelerated GE RJ45 interfaces, 2x GE RJ45 management ports, 2x USB and 1x RJ45 console. Two SFP SX (1 GE) transceivers are included in the box.
Most enterprise deployments choose UTP (950) for IPS, advanced malware protection and web/DNS/video filtering, or Enterprise (809) for the full service set including DLP and AI-based inline malware prevention. Both include FortiCare Premium support. We can scope the right bundle and term for your environment.
