Fortinet FortiGate 2601F-DC + 1-Year Enterprise Bundle (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-12)

Data centers built around DC power infrastructure have specific procurement requirements — AC bundles simply don’t apply. The FortiGate 2601F-DC addresses that directly: it’s the same high-density NP7/CP9-accelerated platform as the 2601F, but equipped with dual hot-swap DC power supplies operating at -48 VDC to -60 VDC, which is the standard in carrier hotels, colocation facilities, and purpose-built network operations centers. The FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-12 adds one year of FortiCare Premium support plus the full FortiGuard Enterprise Protection suite, giving your team a complete, supported security deployment from day one.

What the Bundle Includes

This bundle ships the FG-2601F-DC hardware unit and activates a 12-month FortiCare Premium + FortiGuard Enterprise Protection subscription. The hardware covers the physical appliance, dual DC power supplies, and two included 10 GE SFP+ SR transceivers. The Enterprise Protection subscription activates every FortiGuard security service layer for the full term.

• Data loss prevention (DLP) and inline CASB for SaaS application control
• OT security: device detection, vulnerability correlation, virtual patching, and OT application/protocol inspection
• Attack surface security: IoT/OT device detection, security rating, FortiGuard outbreak checks

• FortiCare Premium: 24x7x365 support with 1-hour critical-issue response and next-business-day hardware replacement

Who Runs the 2601F-DC

The 2601F-DC fits environments where AC power is not available or not preferred at the rack level. Typical installations include carrier-grade data centers, telecom co-location facilities, and network operations centers that standardize on -48 VDC power distribution. The combination of 16 x 25 GE SFP28 slots and 4 x 100 GE QSFP28 slots supports high-density 25G server aggregation and 100G spine connectivity in the same chassis, making the 2601F-DC suitable for perimeter, core segmentation, and east-west inspection roles in large-scale environments. The 2 x 960 GB NVMe SSD storage supports extended local logging, FortiGuard FortiAnalyzer Cloud connectivity, and SD-WAN application data retention without external logging appliances.

Other Terms and Models

If a longer commitment makes more sense for your procurement cycle, the FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-36 (3-year) and FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-60 (5-year) are available at DataCenter360.ca. For teams whose security requirements align with a subset of the Enterprise services, the FG-2601F-DC-BDL-950-12 (UTP, 1-year) covers IPS, anti-malware, URL/DNS filtering, and application control without the DLP, CASB, and OT layers. Customers scaling to even larger throughput can explore the FortiGate 3000F-DC series as the natural step up in the same DC-power product line.
