Fortinet FortiSandbox 2000E Sandbox VM Clone Expansion, 1-Year (FC1-10-SA20K-1035-02-12)

When a FortiSandbox 2000E hits its concurrent VM clone limit, incoming file submissions queue rather than execute immediately, slowing verdict delivery during high-load periods. FC1-10-SA20K-1035-02-12 adds exactly one VM clone count to the 2000E, expanding its sandboxing capacity for Local (including Custom) and Cloud analysis modes. Each clone allows the appliance to sustain one additional concurrent sandbox instance, directly increasing the volume of files the mid-range 2000E can analyze in parallel without holding other submissions in a wait state.

Overview

The FortiSandbox 2000E is a mid-range appliance suited to enterprises that need dedicated on-premises sandboxing with the option to extend analysis into the cloud. VM clone counts determine how many simultaneous sandboxing instances the appliance can sustain at any one time. By purchasing FC1-10-SA20K-1035-02-12, organizations add one clone increment to their existing configuration, covering all three analysis modes: Local (hardware-based VMs running directly on the appliance), Custom (operator-defined VM images for specialized application environments), and Cloud (offloading to FortiSandbox Cloud for additional burst capacity). The maximum ceiling on the 2000E is 120 VM clones, so teams can scale incrementally up to that limit by stacking clone subscriptions as throughput demands grow. This subscription covers both new sandboxing VM deployments and expansions to existing configurations on the 2000E. No Microsoft license is included with this SKU; if Windows-based sandbox analysis is required, a separate Microsoft license must be applied to the Custom VM image independently.

Who it suits

Security teams that have already deployed a FortiSandbox 2000E and find the appliance queuing submissions during peak periods should add clone subscriptions rather than replacing hardware, particularly when submission volume grows gradually and incremental capacity is the more cost-effective response. Organizations that rely on Custom VM images for specialized application sandboxing, such as those running sector-specific tools or line-of-business software requiring dedicated sandbox environments, will benefit from the Custom mode coverage this expansion includes. Teams that use FortiSandbox Cloud as a burst layer during volume surges will find the Cloud clone count equally useful for offloading overflow without affecting on-premises analysis queues. The subscription is available worldwide and is delivered electronically, making capacity additions straightforward regardless of where the appliance is deployed or which region the procurement team operates from.
