The FortiGate 1100E-DC runs -48V DC power, which makes it the right call for data centers, co-location facilities, and telecom environments where DC bus distribution is the standard. The FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-36 pairs this 2RU appliance with a full three years of Unified Threat Protection, so the threat-detection stack is active and covered from the moment the unit goes into the rack. For teams that need to avoid mid-contract service gap renewals across multiple layers, the bundle removes that complexity.

Unified Threat Protection activates a coordinated set of FortiGuard services that run inside FortiOS rather than as separate consoles. The three-year term keeps signatures, intelligence feeds, and FortiCare support current through a single contract expiry. The table below shows how UTP compares to the other bundle tiers available for the FG-1100E-DC.
| Service | ATP Bundle | UTP Bundle | Enterprise Bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS + Anti-Malware (AV, Botnet, Virus Outbreak) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| URL / DNS / Video Filtering | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Application Control | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Inline CASB | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Anti-Spam | — | — | ✓ |
| AI-based Inline Malware Prevention | — | — | ✓ |
| Data Loss Prevention (DLP) | — | — | ✓ |
| Attack Surface Security (IoT / OT Detection) | — | — | ✓ |
| FortiConverter Migration Service | — | — | ✓ |
| FortiCare Premium Support (24×7, 1-hr critical) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
The FG-1100E-DC is built for environments where AC power is not an option: large enterprise data centers, telco edge sites, and co-location racks running -48V DC bus infrastructure. At 80 Gbps firewall throughput with NP6 hardware offload, it handles high-volume east-west segmentation and north-south perimeter traffic at the core. The 8 million concurrent session table and 500,000 new sessions per second make it practical for aggregation layers carrying traffic from multiple distribution tiers.
Three years of UTP suits organizations that want comprehensive protection without the annual renewal cycle. Security teams get IPS, AV, web filtering, and application control aligned to a single contract date, which simplifies budget planning and audit documentation. Teams doing SD-WAN consolidation across data center WAN edges will find the 48 Gbps IPsec throughput capable of handling even dense tunnel configurations.
The same UTP coverage is available in a 1-year term (FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-12) if the planning cycle calls for shorter commitments, and in a 5-year term (FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-60) if locking in pricing over a longer period is the priority. If the workload requires Anti-Spam, DLP, Attack Surface Security, or AI-based inline malware prevention, the Enterprise bundle (FG-1100E-DC-BDL-809-36, 3-year) adds those layers. The FG-1100E-DC hardware without bundled services is also available separately for shops that already hold active subscription licenses.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner with Canadian inventory. The FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-36 ships brand new from Canadian stock, free of charge, typically arriving within 0 to 1 business days. If you have questions about co-terminating an existing UTP contract, sizing a redundant HA pair, or comparing the UTP and Enterprise tiers for your specific traffic profile, reach out before ordering and we can work through it.
The FG-1100E and FG-1100E-DC are identical in hardware specs, interfaces, and performance. The only difference is the power supply type: the FG-1100E ships with dual AC power supplies (100-240V AC), while the FG-1100E-DC ships with dual DC power supplies rated for -48V DC input. The DC variant is required in carrier, co-location, and large data center environments where DC bus power is the standard infrastructure choice.
The Unified Threat Protection bundle includes IPS, Anti-Malware Protection (AV, botnet domains, mobile malware, virus outbreak protection), URL/DNS/Video Filtering, Application Control, Inline CASB, and FortiCare Premium Support (24×7, 1-hour critical issue response). It does not include Anti-Spam, AI-based Inline Malware Prevention, Data Loss Prevention, Attack Surface Security, or OT Security — those services are exclusive to the Enterprise bundle (tier code 809).
No. DataCenter360.ca ships FortiGate hardware within Canada only, in accordance with Fortinet’s authorized reseller terms. The appliance ships free from Canadian stock. If you are outside Canada and require this model, contact us and we can direct you to an authorized channel partner in your region.
Yes. Fortinet’s co-termination process allows you to upgrade an active UTP subscription to the Enterprise tier before the current term expires. Fortinet calculates the prorated cost based on the remaining days in your existing contract and aligns the new Enterprise term to the same end date. Contact DataCenter360.ca with your registered serial number and we can provide the exact upgrade SKU and pricing.
The FG-1100E-DC supports Active-Active, Active-Passive, and FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) HA configurations. Dedicated GE RJ45 MGMT/HA ports handle heartbeat and session synchronization traffic, keeping HA communication off the data plane. A full active-active pair requires two FG-1100E-DC units, each with its own bundle license. Failover and session synchronization behavior is configured in FortiOS and depends on the HA mode selected.
