Fortinet FortiGate 1801F UTP, 1-Year (FG-1801F-BDL-950-12)

FG-1801F-BDL-950-12 puts the FortiGate 1801F’s 2x 960GB onboard SSD storage and 22 Gbps IPS engine to work on day one, paired with a full year of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP): IPS, anti-malware, and URL/DNS/video filtering running the moment the appliance powers up.

What the FG-1801F-BDL-950-12 bundle includes

This bundle ships the FortiGate 1801F chassis, the same 2RU platform as the FG-1800F but built with 2x 960GB NVMe SSD onboard storage for local logging and analytics, plus the SPU NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor that give it 22 Gbps of IPS throughput. Included in the box are two SFP+ (10 GE SR) transceivers and dual AC power supplies for 1+1 redundancy. Bundled with the hardware is a 1-year subscription combining FortiCare Premium technical support with FortiGuard UTP security services, so the firewall is licensed and protected from first boot rather than requiring a separate license purchase after unboxing.

What the 1-Year UTP subscription covers

Unified Threat Protection sits between Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) and Enterprise Protection in Fortinet’s bundle lineup. On the FortiGate 1801F, the UTP tier adds URL, DNS, and video filtering on top of the IPS and anti-malware protection that every bundle includes, and it carries FortiCare Premium support with 24x7x365 availability and a one-hour response commitment for critical issues. It does not include anti-spam, data loss prevention, or attack-surface security scanning, all of which are reserved for the Enterprise Protection tier.

Who runs the FortiGate 1801F on UTP

The 1801F’s SSD storage and 22 Gbps IPS ceiling put it in the data center and campus core, not the branch closet. Teams choosing UTP over Enterprise are typically running dedicated DLP or SOC tooling elsewhere and just need FortiGate to handle firewall, IPS, and web filtering at line rate without paying for anti-spam or attack-surface modules they will not use. It also suits organizations replacing an aging chassis-class firewall where the SSD’s local log retention matters more than the extra Enterprise features.

Other terms and models

The same FG-1801F hardware is available with the UTP bundle on 3-year and 5-year terms if a longer commitment better matches your renewal cycle, and with the Enterprise Protection bundle for teams that need anti-spam and DLP included. Buyers who need more headroom than the 1801F’s 22 Gbps IPS engine can step up to the FortiGate 2600F, the next model in the same hardware generation, also available with a 1-year UTP bundle.
