Fortinet FortiGate 1801F-DC + 1-Year Enterprise Bundle (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-809-12)

The FortiGate-1801F-DC pairs the DC-powered 1801F chassis, complete with 2x 960GB onboard NVMe SSD storage, with a 1-Year FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection bundle. It is built for telecom central offices, industrial sites, and data centers that run on -48V to -60V DC power plants rather than standard AC, and that need local SSD storage for logging and analytics without an external FortiAnalyzer. FG-1801F-DC-BDL-809-12 covers the hardware, the FortiCare Premium support contract, and the full Enterprise security stack for the first year, all in one SKU.

What the Bundle Includes

This bundle combines the FortiGate 1801F-DC appliance with a 1-year FortiGuard Enterprise Protection subscription and FortiCare Premium support. The Enterprise tier is Fortinet’s top a-la-carte security bundle: it layers Attack Surface Security, Data Loss Prevention, and AI-based inline malware prevention on top of the IPS, anti-malware, and URL/DNS/video filtering that ship with every FortiGuard bundle. FortiCare Premium adds 24x7x365 access to Fortinet support, a 1-hour response window for critical issues, and next-business-day response for everything else.

What Enterprise Protection Covers

The Enterprise bundle is the widest FortiGuard tier available for the 1800F Series. Beyond the IPS and anti-malware baseline, it adds URL/DNS/video filtering, anti-spam, AI-based inline malware prevention, data loss prevention, and Attack Surface Security (IoT device detection, vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, and security rating). Application control and inline CASB come bundled with the FortiCare Premium subscription itself. Fortinet’s SPU NP7 and CP9 processors keep SSL inspection and deep packet inspection running at line rate even with every service switched on, so the Enterprise stack doesn’t become the bottleneck on a 22 Gbps IPS chassis.

Who Runs This Configuration

DC power input is a requirement, not a preference, for telecom central offices, carrier POPs, and industrial facilities that standardize on -48V DC plants for uptime reasons. The onboard SSD in the 1801F variant gives network teams local storage for FortiView logs, traffic analytics, and reports without provisioning a separate FortiAnalyzer, which matters in remote or bandwidth-constrained sites where shipping logs off-box isn’t practical. Pair that with Enterprise-tier FortiGuard coverage and this configuration fits organizations running compliance-heavy workloads (PCI DSS, government, critical infrastructure) that need both the strongest available security stack and DC resiliency in the same box.

Other Terms and Models

FG-1801F-DC-BDL-809-12 is the 1-year term. The same hardware and Enterprise bundle are also available on 3-year and 5-year terms for buyers who want to lock in support and licensing for the life of the appliance instead of renewing annually. If the DLP, Attack Surface Security, and AI-based malware prevention in Enterprise aren’t needed, the UTP bundle (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-950-12) covers IPS, anti-malware, and URL/DNS/video filtering at a lower price point. Buyers who don’t need DC power or onboard SSD storage should look at the standard AC FortiGate 1801F or the diskless 1800F-DC instead, and teams that have outgrown the 1800F Series entirely can step up to the FortiGate 2601F-DC, which carries the same DC power input and SSD storage into a higher-throughput chassis.
