Data center and carrier environments running -48V DC power distribution need network security hardware that integrates natively into that infrastructure. The FortiGate 1100E-DC delivers the complete performance profile of the 1100E platform — 80 Gbps firewall throughput, 12.5 Gbps IPS, and SPU NP6 plus CP9 hardware acceleration — powered by dual redundant DC power supplies rather than AC. No power conversion adapters, no intermediate equipment. The appliance connects directly to the DC bus.
The FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-60 bundles the FortiGate 1100E-DC appliance with a 5-year FortiCare Premium support contract and a 5-year FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection subscription. The hardware ships brand new; the subscription activates from the registration date, not the ship date, giving you time to rack and configure before the coverage clock starts.

The Unified Threat Protection tier turns on a broader set of FortiGuard services than the ATP tier, including web and video filtering, antispam, and FortiCloud management. The table below compares the three main bundle tiers; this product activates the UTP column.

The FortiGate 1100E-DC is the right fit when the site already runs on a DC power bus, or when DC distribution is the standard for the facility type. Colocation providers, telecommunications carriers, financial institutions, and government data centers that have standardized on -48V DC power can deploy this unit without modification to their power architecture.
The performance headroom also fits organizations that need to inspect large traffic volumes with full threat signatures enabled. At 80 Gbps raw throughput and 12.5 Gbps with IPS active, there is room to run deep inspection on production traffic without policy-based throttling. The 250 virtual domain cap and 8 million concurrent session table support dense deployments where multiple segments, tenants, or business units share the same physical appliance.
If the 5-year term is longer than your procurement cycle allows, the same UTP bundle is available in 1-year (FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-12) and 3-year (FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-36) variants. For sites using standard AC power, the FG-1100E (without the -DC suffix) is identical in every other respect. The FG-1101E adds 960 GB of onboard SSD storage for local log retention and is powered by AC.
For workloads requiring greater firewall throughput beyond the 1100E platform, the FortiGate 2200E series covers the next capacity tier at the same FortiOS feature set and bundle options.
DataCenter360.ca stocks FortiGate hardware and ships across Canada as an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. The FG-1100E-DC-BDL-950-60 ships brand new with free shipping, typically arriving in 0 to 1 business days. Volume pricing and procurement quotes are available on request. The 5-year FortiGuard and FortiCare subscription registers with Fortinet separately from the hardware, starting coverage from the date you activate the unit, not the date it ships.
The FortiGate 1100E-DC and FG-1100E are identical in throughput, interfaces, FortiOS features, and the FortiGuard services they support. The only hardware difference is the power supply. The -DC variant ships with dual -48V DC power supplies for environments running DC power distribution. The standard FG-1100E ships with dual AC power supplies. If your facility uses AC mains, the FG-1100E is the correct variant; if you run a DC bus, the FG-1100E-DC connects directly without any power conversion.
The UTP (Unified Threat Protection) bundle activates FortiCare Premium support, IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, Web and Video Filtering, Anti-Spam, and FortiCloud Management and Analytics. It includes all services in the ATP tier and adds web filtering, antispam, and FortiCloud. The Enterprise bundle adds inline CASB, database security, DLP, and AI-based inline malware prevention on top of UTP. If those additional services are required, request a quote for the Enterprise bundle at the same term.
Yes, DataCenter360.ca ships hardware to addresses across Canada, with free shipping included. Typical delivery is 0 to 1 business days from order confirmation. Hardware shipments are Canada-only; the appliance is not exported internationally. Fortinet licensing and subscription renewals purchased separately are delivered electronically and can be activated worldwide.
The subscription term starts on the date you register the unit with Fortinet, not the date it ships or arrives. This gives you time to receive, rack, cable, and test the appliance before the 5-year window opens. Fortinet provides activation keys and registration instructions with the hardware. Registration is completed through the Fortinet support portal.
Yes. The FortiGate 1100E-DC supports Active-Active, Active-Passive, and full cluster HA configurations using FortiOS. Each unit ships with dual redundant DC power supplies, which provides hardware-level resilience within a single chassis. Pairing two units in an HA cluster adds appliance-level failover on top of that. Both nodes in a cluster must run the same hardware model and FortiOS version; mixing DC and AC variants in the same cluster is not supported.
