OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 601E is for

The FortiGate 601E is a 1U enterprise next-generation firewall from Fortinet's 600E series. Built on the NP6 and CP9 security processors, it delivers 36 Gbps of firewall throughput, 9.5 Gbps NGFW, 7 Gbps of threat protection and 8,000,000 concurrent sessions over eight GE RJ45 ports, eight GE SFP slots and two 10 GE SFP+ slots. It pairs FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support with the hardware to deliver consolidated enterprise protection at the campus core or network edge, available as hardware-only, as a hardware-plus-licensing bundle, or with standalone subscriptions below.

Need more headroom? The FortiGate 600F is the next-generation step up — a full-generation jump in firewall throughput, threat protection and 10/25 GE interface speeds in the same 1U class — and the FortiGate 900G steps up further with 16 million sessions and higher 10/25 GE density. See the upgrade path comparison below.

Yes. Choose a FortiGuard + FortiCare bundle (Enterprise, UTP or ATP) above, or add individual FortiGuard services and FortiCare support. Licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.

The 600E delivers 36 Gbps firewall throughput, 10 Gbps IPS, 9.5 Gbps NGFW, 7 Gbps threat protection and 20 Gbps IPsec VPN, with 8,000,000 concurrent sessions and 450,000 new sessions per second, accelerated by Fortinet’s NP6 and CP9 security processors, over eight GE ports, eight GE SFP slots and two 10 GE SFP+ slots.

The FortiGate 601E adds 2x 240 GB onboard SSDs for local logging and reporting. The 600E in the same series has no onboard storage; ports and security performance are identical between the two models.
