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

The FG-1801F-BDL-809-12 pairs the FortiGate 1801F data-center firewall, onboard NVMe storage included, with one year of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection under a single part number. It’s the entry point into the 1801F line for teams that want the full Enterprise security stack active on day one without committing to a multi-year term up front.

What the bundle includes

One SKU covers three pieces: the FG-1801F chassis with its dual onboard NVMe SSDs for local logging, one year of FortiCare Premium (24x7x365 support, one-hour response on critical issues, advanced hardware replacement), and one year of FortiGuard Enterprise Protection, Fortinet’s top security service tier. Everything ships together and activates on the same schedule, so there’s no separate license order to place after the hardware arrives.

What Enterprise Protection covers

Enterprise is the top tier of the FortiGuard structure for the 1800F Series. It carries everything the UTP bundle offers: IPS, anti-malware with sandboxing, application control, URL/DNS/video filtering, and antispam, then adds AI-based inline malware prevention, data loss prevention, and attack surface security with IoT and OT device detection plus virtual patching. FortiCare Premium runs on the same one-year clock, so hardware support and security services renew together instead of drifting apart.

Who buys the 1-year term

A one-year Enterprise bundle fits organizations that want to trial the 1801F at full performance before locking into a longer contract, or that align security renewals to an annual budget cycle rather than a 3- or 5-year procurement window. It also suits deployments where requirements might shift, service providers onboarding a new customer, or data centers testing the 22 Gbps IPS class against real traffic before standardizing on it fleet-wide. The onboard NVMe SSDs still give the box somewhere to hold logs locally if the FortiAnalyzer link ever drops, regardless of term length.

Other terms and models

The same Enterprise bundle is also available in 3- and 5-year terms on identical hardware, useful once the 1-year evaluation confirms the fit and a longer lock-in makes financial sense. Sites that don’t need onboard SSD storage can look at the FG-1800F, same throughput class without the local NVMe drives, and organizations pushing past 22 Gbps of IPS move up to the FortiGate 2600F Series.
