Fortinet FortiGate 3000F Firewall (FG-3000F)

When the data-center core demands line-rate inspection at scale, the FortiGate 3000F (FG-3000F) delivers. Powered by Fortinet’s patented NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor, this 2 RU appliance sustains 34 Gbps of NGFW throughput and 33 Gbps of full threat protection without compromising latency — firewall latency sits at 3.92 μs. Six 100 GE QSFP28 slots and sixteen 25 GE SFP28/10 GE SFP+ slots give architects the high-density connectivity that modern data-center segmentation requires.

Hardware Specifications

Where the 3000F Fits

The FG-3000F targets organizations that need data-center-grade firewall performance in a two-rack-unit footprint. Its NP7 ASICs handle hyperscale session setup and ultra-low-latency VXLAN segmentation, making it well-suited for east-west micro-segmentation between server tiers or cloud-access paths. The six 100 GE uplinks eliminate the need for an extra aggregation layer, and the dual hot-swap power supplies plus onboard SSDs support demanding HA and local logging requirements. SPU-accelerated IPsec at 105 Gbps also makes this appliance capable of large VPN aggregation or encrypted inter-site trunks.

FortiOS delivers integrated zero-trust network access (ZTNA) enforcement, SD-WAN, and native application identification across a single policy framework that connects to the broader Fortinet Security Fabric. That unified OS reduces the operational overhead of managing separate stacks for different traffic types at the data-center edge.

Hardware Only: No License Included

The FG-3000F ships as appliance hardware only. FortiOS comes pre-installed so the unit boots and operates as a stateful firewall, but FortiGuard threat-intelligence services, such as IPS, application control, web filtering, and antivirus, require a separate subscription. The FortiGate 3000F series page lists available subscription bundles by term, so you can align the license scope to your compliance requirements before placing the order.
