Ten gigabit ports and a purpose-built security ASIC in a fanless desktop box. The FortiGate 60F (FG-60F) is the firewall most Canadian branch sites end up standing on: two WAN ports for dual-ISP SD-WAN, a dedicated DMZ, and seven internal ports for segmenting users, servers, and guest traffic without bolting on a switch. This listing is the appliance on its own, with FortiGuard subscriptions handled separately so you can match the security tier to the site.

What you get

The unit ships brand new and sealed with its external power adapter and FortiOS pre-installed. Out of the box it runs as a stateful firewall; adding a FortiGuard subscription turns on the IPS, web filtering, anti-malware, and application control that make it a next-generation firewall. There is no onboard SSD on the 60F, so logging and reporting are sent to FortiCloud or a FortiAnalyzer.

Hardware specifications

Performance figures are Fortinet enterprise-mix ratings from the FortiGate 60F Series datasheet. Real throughput depends on which inspection services you enable.

Where the 60F earns its place

This is a branch and small-office workhorse. The SD-WAN ASIC steers traffic across two internet links and keeps voice and SaaS sessions stable when one path degrades, which is the feature most teams actually buy it for. The seven internal ports let a 15 to 50 user site run flat or segmented straight from the firewall, and the fanless design means it sits silently on a shelf or wall mount in a back office.

Appliance alone, or a bundle

Buying the FG-60F by itself makes sense when you already hold FortiGuard entitlements, are standardising spares, or want to choose the security tier and term yourself. If you would rather have protection switched on from day one, the same model is sold as a hardware-plus-license bundle. The 1-year UTP and Enterprise subscriptions for this unit are linked above and can be added to the cart alongside the appliance.

Moving up

If a site needs onboard storage for local logging, the FG-61F is the same firewall with a 128 GB SSD. When port count or throughput becomes the limit, the FG-80F steps up the same F-series line with more interfaces and headroom.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca stocks the FG-60F as a brand-new, sealed unit and ships it free anywhere in Canada, usually within zero to one business day. As a Fortinet Select Partner we can also line up the right FortiGuard subscription or a full bundle if you would rather not source the licensing separately. If you are not sure the 60F is sized for your site, ask us before you order.
