Fortinet FortiGate 1101E + 1-Year Enterprise Bundle (FG-1101E-BDL-809-12)

Campus and data center security at this scale demands more than raw firewall throughput — it requires consistent enforcement across encrypted traffic, lateral movement, and advanced persistent threats. The FortiGate 1101E bundles 80 Gbps of firewall throughput and NP6-accelerated IPS with a full year of Fortinet Enterprise Protection, giving your team a single system that inspects, filters, and enforces policy across the perimeter and core simultaneously.

What the Bundle Includes

The FG-1101E-BDL-809-12 combines the FortiGate 1101E hardware appliance with one year of Fortinet Enterprise Protection. Enterprise Protection is Fortinet’s most comprehensive software bundle: it includes FortiCare Premium 24×7 TAC support plus the full FortiGuard Enterprise Security Service stack activated from day one.

What Enterprise Protection Covers

Enterprise Protection (tier code 809) is the highest-tier Fortinet software bundle. It activates every FortiGuard security service available for the platform, plus adds AI-driven inline malware prevention, SaaS application control, and SD-WAN underlay management on top of what UTP provides. The table below shows what each tier enables:

Who This Appliance Suits

The 1101E targets large enterprise headquarters, regional data centers, and high-traffic campus cores where sub-10 Gbps throughput is a ceiling, not a target. The 40GE and 25GE uplinks let it connect directly to spine switches or WAN edge routers without creating a bandwidth bottleneck. Organizations managing traffic from hundreds of endpoints concurrently, running encrypted inspection across multiple security zones, or consolidating firewall and SD-WAN functions on a single platform will find the 1101E appropriately sized.

The NP6 ASIC offloads firewall and IPsec sessions from the main CPU, so policy-intensive workloads — large rule sets, VDOM segmentation, high session counts — do not degrade throughput as they might on software-only appliances. CP9 handles SSL and content inspection acceleration.

Other Terms and Related Models

The 1-year bundle (FG-1101E-BDL-809-12) is the standard entry point for most procurement cycles. A 3-year bundle (FG-1101E-BDL-809-36) and a 5-year bundle (FG-1101E-BDL-809-60) reduce the per-year licensing cost and simplify renewal planning. The next-generation FortiGate 1800F offers higher throughput for environments growing beyond what the 1101E handles today.
