Fortinet’s G-series represents a generational upgrade in compact firewall performance. The FortiGate 50G (FG-50G) delivers 2.25 Gbps IPS throughput and 1.1 Gbps threat protection in a five-port desktop chassis — numbers that put it well ahead of comparably priced F-series units. It runs FortiOS with the full Security Fabric feature set, built-in SD-WAN, and ZTNA enforcement, with no add-on licenses needed for those capabilities.

The most telling number is SSL inspection: 1.3 Gbps on the 50G versus 310 Mbps on the 40F. As encrypted traffic becomes the default for almost all web and SaaS applications, the ability to inspect HTTPS without a throughput cliff matters. The 50G handles full SSL inspection on gigabit internet connections without needing to disable inspection to maintain performance. IPS throughput of 2.25 Gbps and 85,000 new sessions per second also represent a significant step up for environments with high session rates — video conferencing, cloud storage sync, or dense IoT deployments.
This listing is the appliance alone. A FortiCare subscription and FortiGuard services are required for threat intelligence, updates, and warranty. The 1-Year UTP subscription (FC-10-GT50G-950-02-12) covers the core FortiGuard stack; Enterprise (FC-10-GT50G-809-02-12) adds AI-based inline malware prevention and sandbox. Both are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
The 50G suits branch offices and SMBs with ISP connections between 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps who need full inspection without compromising speed. It is also a strong choice for anyone upgrading from an F-series unit who wants meaningfully better performance without stepping up to a larger chassis. At the same five-port desktop footprint as the 40F, the 50G delivers more than double the IPS throughput.
The FortiGate 51G (FG-51G) adds 32 GB of onboard SSD storage to the 50G platform, enabling local log retention at the branch without cloud dependency. If your deployment requires on-premises logging for compliance or forensics, the 51G is the recommended step within the same series.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner with the FG-50G in stock at our Canadian warehouse. Every unit ships factory-sealed with full Fortinet Canada warranty, free to any province in 0–1 business days. Our FCP-certified team can help you compare the 50G to the 51G or 70G based on your specific throughput and logging requirements.
The FG-50G is part of Fortinet’s newer G-series and offers substantially higher performance than the F-series FG-40F. Key improvements: IPS throughput increases from 1 Gbps to 2.25 Gbps, SSL inspection throughput increases from 310 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps, and new sessions per second increases from 35,000 to 85,000. The port count and form factor are identical (5 × GE RJ45, desktop).
No. The base FG-50G does not include onboard SSD storage. If local log retention is required, the FortiGate 51G (FG-51G) adds 32 GB SSD storage to the same platform.
No. This SKU is hardware only. A FortiCare and FortiGuard subscription are required for threat intelligence, firmware updates, and warranty. License options using the FC-10-GT50G- prefix are available separately on DataCenter360.ca.
Yes. With 1.3 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput, the FG-50G can inspect encrypted HTTPS traffic on a 1 Gbps internet connection without disabling inspection to maintain performance. This is a significant practical advantage over the 40F series for high-speed internet deployments.
Yes. DataCenter360.ca stocks the FG-50G in Canada. Orders ship free to all provinces in 0–1 business days. This listing is for Canadian customers only.
