When your data center runs on DC power and demands non-stop throughput, the FortiGate 2601F-DC paired with three years of Fortinet Enterprise Protection gives you the architecture to back it up. This 2RU appliance carries the full SPU NP7 and CP9 silicon stack, 2x 960 GB NVMe SSD for local log retention, and a port density designed for high-speed spine-layer deployments — all fed by redundant hot-swap DC power supplies.
The FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-36 ships the FortiGate 2601F-DC hardware together with a 36-month FortiCare Premium support subscription and the complete FortiGuard Enterprise Protection suite. Security services activate within minutes of registration; hardware ships new from Canada.

The Enterprise bundle (tier code 809) is Fortinet’s most complete FortiGuard package. It layers all the security services from ATP and UTP and adds data loss prevention, OT security controls, inline CASB for SaaS visibility, and the SD-WAN services suite. For organizations that need a single subscription to cover the broadest attack surface — network, web, SaaS, operational technology, and SD-WAN — this tier removes the need to license those capabilities separately.

The 2601F-DC is built for environments where AC power is not an option: co-location cages, carrier-grade POP sites, telecom central offices, and enterprise data centers that standardize on -48 V DC distribution. The 2x 960 GB NVMe SSDs provide enough local log capacity for compliance-driven retention requirements without a separate FortiAnalyzer for day-to-day logging. The port density — 16x 10GE RJ45, 16x 25GE SFP28, 8x 10GE SFP+, and 4x 100GE QSFP28 — supports high-density core or edge-aggregation roles where multiple 100G uplinks are mandatory.
Organizations running OT alongside IT, or those managing SaaS sprawl that needs CASB-level control, will find the Enterprise tier covers those use cases in a single renewal instead of stacking individual licenses.
If a 36-month commitment does not align with your procurement cycle, the same hardware and Enterprise bundle is available as a 1-year bundle (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-12) or a 5-year bundle (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-60). For deployments requiring AC power with onboard storage, the FG-2601F (AC) carries the same NVMe drives; the FG-2600F-DC drops the onboard storage while keeping DC power. The next tier up in the 3000F series (FG-3001F) is available for configurations demanding higher session scale or chassis-level HA.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner based in Canada. The FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-36 ships new and sealed from Canadian inventory with free express delivery in 0–1 business days. Every hardware bundle includes the three-year license keys and FortiCare entitlement in the box.

The Enterprise tier (SKU code 809) adds DLP, OT Security, Inline CASB, and the full SD-WAN services suite on top of everything in the UTP bundle. UTP already includes IPS, Anti-Malware, URL/DNS/Video Filtering, Application Control, Anti-Spam, AI Inline Malware Prevention, and Attack Surface Security. Enterprise covers the broadest set of FortiGuard services in a single subscription.
The -DC suffix denotes dual hot-swap DC power supplies rated for -48 VDC to -60 VDC. This is the standard power distribution found in telecom central offices, co-location carrier cages, and enterprise data centers that run -48 V DC bus bars. The AC variants (FG-2600F, FG-2601F) use 100–240 VAC power supplies instead. Choosing the correct power variant at purchase time avoids costly field retrofits.
Yes — hardware ships within Canada only. DataCenter360.ca is authorized to fulfill hardware for Canadian destinations. The electronic license keys and FortiCare entitlement can be activated by end users anywhere, but the physical appliance ships to Canadian addresses only.
The two 960 GB NVMe SSDs (1.92 TB total) enable local log storage directly on the appliance. This is useful for compliance scenarios where log retention is required but a dedicated FortiAnalyzer is not yet deployed. Logs stored locally can be forwarded to FortiAnalyzer or FortiAnalyzer Cloud at any point. The standard FG-2600F/-DC does not include onboard storage; the -2601F- variants are the storage-equipped models.
Yes. The FortiGate 2601F-DC supports the Hyperscale Firewall License (LIC-FGT-HYPSC-1K2K), which unlocks hardware-accelerated concurrent session counts of up to 40 million and new sessions per second of up to 2 million (versus 24 million and 1 million in standard mode). The Hyperscale license is purchased separately and is listed on the FortiGate 2601F model page at DataCenter360.ca.
