Enterprises adding a second layer of perimeter defense or standing up a dedicated data center firewall need throughput that holds up under full inspection. The FG-1101E-BDL-950-12 ships ready for that task: the FortiGate 1101E appliance arrives in the box alongside a complete 1-year Unified Threat Protection subscription, so full policy enforcement starts on day one without a separate license purchase.

The Unified Threat Protection tier sits in the middle of the FortiGuard bundle hierarchy. It adds URL and DNS filtering on top of what ATP covers, and it includes FortiCare Premium for 24×7 TAC and advance hardware replacement. The table below maps which services each tier activates for the 1101E:
| Service | ATP | UTP | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPS & Advanced Malware Protection | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Application Control | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Inline Sandbox (FortiSandbox Cloud) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| URL Filtering & DNS Filtering | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Anti-Botnet & C2 Defense | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| SD-WAN Overlay & ISDB Services | — | — | ✓ |
| FortiCare Premium Support | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
The 1101E targets mid-size enterprises and smaller data center operators that need 40GbE uplinks and hardware-accelerated inspection without moving to the larger 1800F or 2600F chassis. The dual NP6 processors handle IPv4/IPv6 forwarding, GRE, and IPsec offload in hardware, leaving the main CPU for FortiOS policy work. Typical deployment scenarios:
The FG-1101E-BDL-950-12 covers year one. The same UTP tier is available as a 3-year or 5-year bundle for a lower effective per-year cost. For fewer services at a reduced price, the ATP bundle drops URL and DNS filtering. For the full Fortinet stack including SD-WAN overlay and ISDB, the Enterprise bundle is the next tier up. If your throughput or port requirements have grown beyond the 1101E, the FortiGate 2200E is the next model up in the E-series with identical port types at higher density.
DataCenter360.ca carries the FG-1101E-BDL-950-12 from our Toronto warehouse and ships it free anywhere in Canada within 0 to 1 business day. As an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, we handle bundle registration so your FortiCare and FortiGuard subscriptions activate against the hardware serial number from the day it arrives. If you want to compare the UTP and Enterprise tiers side by side, or need a quote for a clustered pair, reach out before ordering.
UTP adds URL filtering, DNS filtering, and anti-botnet and C2 defense on top of what ATP provides. Both tiers cover IPS, advanced malware protection, application control, inline FortiSandbox Cloud analysis, and FortiCare Premium support. If your security policy requires category-based web filtering or DNS-layer threat blocking, UTP is the right tier. If you only need core IPS and AV, ATP costs less.
No. The FortiGate 1101E is a hardware appliance, and DataCenter360.ca ships hardware within Canada only. We are not authorized to export Fortinet hardware internationally. If you need standalone FortiGuard or FortiCare renewal licenses for an existing device already located outside Canada, those are electronic and available worldwide.
When the 1-year term expires, renew using the standalone FC-10 renewal SKUs for the 1101E rather than buying the BDL bundle again. Renewals are available at 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year terms. The hardware itself does not need renewing; it continues to operate through its full Fortinet hardware lifecycle regardless of subscription status, though active subscriptions are required for signature updates and FortiCare cases.
The 1100E and 1101E are variants in the same series with identical performance specs. The 1101E includes 960 GB of onboard SSD storage, which enables local log retention and faster policy lookup. If your compliance framework requires on-box log storage or you want local analytics without a separate FortiAnalyzer, choose the 1101E. If storage is handled off-box, the 1100E saves cost with no throughput difference.
Yes, the FortiGate 1101E supports both active-passive and active-active HA clustering. Each unit in the cluster requires its own hardware purchase and its own FortiCare subscription. FortiGuard security services (IPS, AV, URL filtering, and the rest of the UTP set) are licensed to the primary node and applied cluster-wide under Fortinet’s standard HA agreement, so you do not pay for FortiGuard on the secondary unit. Verify current HA licensing terms with DataCenter360.ca when quoting a clustered pair.
