Fortinet FortiGate 1801F-DC + 1-Year UTP Bundle (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-950-12)

Telecom central offices and colocation cages running -48V DC power plants need a firewall that plugs straight into that infrastructure, no rectifier stage in between. The FortiGate 1801F-DC (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-950-12) is the same 1801F chassis as the AC model, built with dual DC power supplies and onboard SSD storage, sold here with a 1-year FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) subscription already attached to the unit under one SKU.

What the bundle includes

Three pieces ship under this single part number. The FortiGate 1801F-DC appliance is a 2RU chassis built on Fortinet’s NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor, with 2x 960GB onboard NVMe SSD storage and dual DC power supplies rated for -48V to -60V input. Alongside it comes one year of FortiCare Premium, covering 24x7x365 support with next-business-day hardware replacement and portal access, plus one year of FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection, the security stack that keeps IPS, antivirus, application control, and web/DNS filtering current from day one.

What UTP covers

FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection groups the services most data center deployments run continuously: intrusion prevention with deep packet and SSL inspection, anti-malware with AI-based heuristics and cloud sandboxing, application control, and URL, DNS, and video filtering. FortiCare Premium rides alongside it, covering support tickets, firmware access, and hardware RMA with next-business-day replacement for the full year, so the contract doesn’t lapse mid-project.

Who runs the DC-powered 1801F

This SKU targets telecom operators, colocation providers, and enterprises with existing -48V DC rack infrastructure who need core or edge firewall throughput without adding an AC-to-DC conversion stage. Typical placement is the data center edge or a segmentation boundary between large network zones. The onboard 2x 960GB SSD supports local logging and analytics on the appliance itself, useful where an external FortiAnalyzer isn’t part of the design yet. A 1-year term suits shorter budget cycles, pilot deployments, or sites syncing this renewal date to an existing FortiCare contract elsewhere in the fleet.
