Fortinet FortiGate FG-50G-BDL-809-36 firewall appliance

FortiGate 50G appliance with 3-year services

The FortiGate 50G is a compact network security appliance designed for small offices and distributed enterprise sites. It combines next-generation firewall and SD-WAN functions in a single unit. The bundle adds three years of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection. This integration reduces the number of devices needed at the edge.

Replaces separate firewall and WAN routers

Organizations running discrete firewalls and separate SD-WAN boxes can consolidate them into this appliance. The jump is worth it when management overhead and power draw from multiple units become a burden. The converged FortiOS operating system handles both networking and security policies from one console. Buyers who need modular expansion slots or higher port density will need a larger model.

Five Gigabit ports and 5 Gbit/s firewall throughput

The appliance provides five 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports for LAN, WAN and DMZ connections. Firewall throughput reaches 5 Gbit/s, giving comfortable headroom for typical branch traffic and encrypted tunnels. Performance scales with the ASIC-accelerated architecture for inspection workloads. Sites requiring multi-gigabit WAN links or heavier threat inspection loads will exceed the available throughput.
