Product description

If you need the performance of the FortiGate 30G series with the added benefit of on-box log storage, the FortiGate 31G (FG-31G) is the right pick. It ships with 30 GB of SSD onboard storage, which means local log retention without requiring a FortiAnalyzer or FortiCloud subscription from day one. Every other spec matches the proven 30G platform: SD-WAN ASIC, FortiOS, and full Security Fabric compatibility.

Where the 31G Stands Out

The storage slot makes a real operational difference. When something goes wrong at a branch at 2 a.m., having 30 GB of local logs means your team can pull forensic detail without a cloud dependency. It also gives FortiOS a place to cache threat intelligence updates locally, which keeps protection current even on intermittent WAN links. For managed service providers monitoring multiple sites, local logging reduces bandwidth overhead noticeably.

On performance, 800 Mbps IPS and 500 Mbps threat protection cover most SMB internet connections comfortably, and the built-in SD-WAN handles dual-ISP failover without an add-on license.

Hardware Only — What That Means

This listing covers the appliance alone. The FortiGate 31G ships ready to configure but requires a FortiCare support subscription and at least one FortiGuard service to receive threat intelligence updates and maintain warranty coverage. The most common pairings are the 1-Year UTP Subscription (FC-10-WF31G-950-02-12) or the 1-Year Enterprise Subscription (FC-10-WF31G-809-02-12). Both are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.

Who Deploys the FortiGate 31G

The FG-31G fits branch offices and remote sites that sit between 10 and 50 users, where local log storage is a compliance or operational requirement, and where the IT team wants full FortiOS features without paying for a standalone logging appliance. It works equally well as the primary firewall for a small business or as a managed branch node in a multi-site Security Fabric deployment.

Moving Up: When to Consider the 40F

Once your site exceeds 50 users or your internet connection climbs above 400 Mbps of SSL-inspected throughput, the FortiGate 40F steps in. It delivers 1 Gbps IPS, five ports, and supports Active-Active HA clustering — capabilities the 31G does not have. The transition is seamless since both models run identical FortiOS configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FG-31G include a license?

No. This SKU (FG-31G) is hardware only. A FortiCare support subscription and at least one FortiGuard service subscription are required for warranty coverage and threat intelligence. The 1-Year UTP or Enterprise subscription licenses are available separately on this site.

What is the 30 GB SSD used for?

The onboard SSD provides local log storage, allowing FortiOS to retain traffic, event, and security logs on-device. This is useful for compliance, forensic investigation, and reducing reliance on FortiAnalyzer or a cloud logging service for day-to-day log access.

What is the difference between the FG-30G and FG-31G?

The FG-31G adds 30 GB of onboard SSD storage to the FG-30G platform. Performance specifications — IPS, NGFW, Threat Protection, and port count — are identical. If local log retention matters to your deployment, the 31G is the better choice.

Can the FG-31G be used in an HA pair?

Yes. The FG-31G supports Active-Passive and Active-Active HA configurations. You need two units and a single shared service contract. For HA deployments you may also want the Priority RMA service to minimize hardware replacement time.

Is this product available and shipped within Canada?

Yes. DataCenter360.ca stocks the FG-31G in Canada and ships free to any Canadian province in 0–1 business days. This is a hardware appliance; it is not available for export outside Canada through this listing.
