Fortinet FortiGate 600E Enterprise Protection, 1-Year (FG-600E-BDL-809-12)

Starting a new FortiGate deployment or evaluating Enterprise-tier coverage before committing to a longer term? FG-600E-BDL-809-12 ships the FortiGate 600E hardware to Canada with 12 months of Fortinet’s top-tier FortiGuard Enterprise Protection and FortiCare Premium support included from day one. At 36 Gbps firewall throughput, 10 Gbps IPS, 9.5 Gbps NGFW, and support for 8 million concurrent TCP sessions, the 600E handles mid-range enterprise campus and edge workloads without requiring a multi-year service commitment upfront.

What the bundle includes

FG-600E-BDL-809-12 bundles the FortiGate 600E 1U rack-mount appliance, a 12-month FortiGuard Enterprise Protection subscription (service code 809), and FortiCare Premium support in one purchase. The FG-600E hardware ships brand new to Canadian addresses and includes 2 hardware-accelerated 10 GE SFP+ ports, 8 hardware-accelerated GE RJ45 interfaces, 8 GE SFP slots, 2 GE RJ45 management ports, and 2x SFP (SX 1 GE) transceivers. Note that the FG-600E carries no onboard storage; organizations requiring local log retention should consider the FG-601E variant, which adds dual 240 GB SSDs to the same chassis. FortiCare Premium provides 24×7 TAC access, firmware updates, and advance hardware replacement for the 12-month coverage period. Key hardware performance figures are shown below.

What Enterprise covers

FortiGuard Enterprise Protection (service code 809) is the broadest FortiGuard subscription tier available for the FortiGate 600E. It includes every service in the ATP and UTP bundles and adds two capabilities exclusive to Enterprise: Security Rating and Attack Surface Assessment, and OT Security with industrial protocol signatures. Those last two services are absent from both ATP and UTP. The comparison below shows exactly what each tier covers.

Who it suits

A 1-year term fits organizations running project-based deployments with defined timelines, IT teams completing a proof-of-concept for Enterprise-level coverage, or procurement groups that operate on annual licensing cycles. The FortiGate 600E itself targets mid-range enterprise edge and campus-core roles: it handles 450,000 new TCP sessions per second, supports up to 50,000 IPsec client tunnels, delivers SSL inspection at 8 Gbps, and can manage up to 1,024 FortiAPs and 96 FortiSwitches directly. Buyers who want to confirm the 600E is the right platform fit before committing to a three- or five-year spend benefit from starting with the 12-month bundle.

Other terms & models

If your planning horizon extends beyond one year, FG-600E-BDL-809-36 provides the same hardware and Enterprise coverage for 3 years with better per-year economics for established deployments, and FG-600E-BDL-809-60 extends the bundle to 5 years for maximum savings over the full hardware lifecycle. The FG-601E is the storage variant of the same appliance: it adds 2 x 240 GB SSDs to an otherwise identical chassis and performance profile, which matters if local log storage or FortiAnalyzer-Cloud replay is part of your design. Enterprise bundle options at all three term lengths are available for the FG-601E as well.
