Fortinet FortiGate 1801F-DC + 5-Year UTP Bundle (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-950-60)

Telecom huts, colocation cages, and central offices rarely run on standard AC. The FortiGate 1801F-DC (FG-1801F-DC-BDL-950-60) is built for exactly that environment: the same 1801F firewall hardware as the AC model, but fitted with dual -48V to -60V DC power supplies, and sold here with five years of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) already attached. One SKU, one invoice, five years of coverage locked in at today’s pricing.

What the bundle includes

Three pieces arrive under a single part number. First is the FortiGate 1801F-DC appliance itself: a 2RU chassis with NP7 network processors and CP9 content processors, 2x 960GB onboard NVMe SSD storage, and dual DC power supplies rated for -48V to -60V input. Second is five years of FortiCare Premium, Fortinet’s 24x7x365 support tier with next-business-day hardware replacement and full access to firmware and the support portal. Third is five years of FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection, the mid-tier security bundle that keeps IPS, antivirus, application control, and web filtering current without a separate renewal to track.

What UTP covers over five years

FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection bundles the security services most data center and edge deployments actually run day to day: 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, so support tickets, firmware access, and hardware RMA are covered for the full five-year term rather than lapsing after year one. At this throughput tier, keeping licensing current matters as much as the hardware spec sheet: an appliance running IPS or Enterprise Traffic Mix rates in the tens of Gbps needs signatures and threat intelligence that stay current, not a license that quietly expires.

Who runs the DC-powered 1801F

This is a data center core or campus edge appliance, not a branch box. Buyers are typically telecom operators, colocation providers, and enterprises with -48V DC rack power already in place, running this at the perimeter or as a segmentation point between large network zones. The 2x 960GB SSD onboard supports local logging and analytics without depending on an external FortiAnalyzer, which matters in facilities where every rack unit and cable run is planned in advance.

Other terms and models

The same FortiGate 1801F-DC plus UTP bundle is also sold in one-year and three-year terms if a five-year commitment doesn’t fit the budget cycle. Organizations that want the fuller Enterprise Protection tier, with data loss prevention and attack surface security layered on top of UTP, can order the equivalent 809 bundle instead. For sites outgrowing the 1801F-DC’s throughput, the FortiGate 2601F-DC in the same UTP bundle and term is the next step up, with SSD storage and DC power carried forward.
