Fortinet FortiGate 2601F-DC + 5-Year Enterprise Bundle (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-60)

Data centers running on -48V DC infrastructure have a specific requirement: power that matches the facility, performance that protects the entire network perimeter, and a support contract long enough to justify the capital spend. The FortiGate 2601F-DC + 5-Year Enterprise Bundle (FG-2601F-DC-BDL-809-60) addresses all three. You get the DC-variant of Fortinet’s 2601F appliance — the storage-enabled model with dual DC power supplies — bundled with five full years of FortiGuard Enterprise Protection and FortiCare Premium support from day one.

What the Bundle Includes

This SKU bundles the FG-2601F-DC hardware unit with a 5-year Enterprise Protection subscription covering all FortiGuard security services in one consolidated license. You are not purchasing hardware and licenses separately; the bundle is a single procurement, a single renewal date, and a single point of support.

• FortiGate 2601F-DC appliance (dual DC power, NP7 + CP9 ASICs, 2x 960GB NVMe SSD)
• 5-year FortiGuard Enterprise Protection subscription (IPS, Application Control, URL/DNS Filtering, Malware Protection, Anti-botnet, SSL Inspection, and more)
• 5-year FortiCare Premium Support (24×7, 1-hour critical-issue response, next-business-day for non-critical, software updates, firmware access)

What the Enterprise Protection Bundle Covers

Enterprise Protection (tier code 809) is Fortinet’s most comprehensive bundled subscription. It stacks every major FortiGuard security service on a single subscription line:

• Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with AI/ML-based threat models and virtual patching
• Application Control with GenAI application visibility
• URL Filtering and DNS Filtering against malicious links and botnet C2 traffic
• Inline malware and zero-day protection via AI-powered sandboxing
• Anti-botnet / IP Reputation
• Inline CASB for SaaS application visibility and control
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across files and network traffic
• FortiCare Premium Support: 24×7 TAC, 1-hour critical-issue response, firmware and updates

Bundled pricing is consistently lower than purchasing these services individually, and a 5-year term locks in the current rate and eliminates annual renewal overhead.

Who Runs the FortiGate 2601F-DC

The 2601F-DC is built for environments where AC power is not an option or not preferred. Telecom facilities, colocation data centers, and carrier-grade infrastructure are the natural homes for this appliance. If your rack draws from -48V DC distribution — common in carrier-class and purpose-built data center deployments — the 2601F-DC fits without a power conversion layer. The dual redundant DC power supplies meet the uptime requirements of production carrier networks, and the NP7 ASIC delivers throughput headroom well beyond what most enterprise-grade environments will consume.

The onboard 2x 960GB NVMe storage (a differentiator from the base FG-2600F-DC model) enables local logging, FortiAnalyzer Cloud offload buffering, and WAN optimization without requiring an external storage node. For organizations running FortiAnalyzer on-premises, the local storage extends the local log retention window significantly.

Other Terms and Related Models

The 5-year term offers the best per-year cost and is typical for capital hardware purchases that align to a 5-year depreciation cycle. Shorter terms are available if your procurement cycle or budget constraints require them: the 1-year and 3-year Enterprise bundles carry the same hardware and the same security scope. The FG-2601F-DC is also available with UTP Protection (tier 950), which covers a slightly narrower security stack at a lower price point.

For environments that need higher session scale or additional hyperscale acceleration beyond the base NP7 capability, the FortiGate 3000F series is the logical step up in the same appliance category.
