Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F Description
Recognised by Gartner® as a leader in both Network Firewalls and WAN Edge Infrastructure in the Magic Quadrant™, the Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F is ideal for demanding environments such as data centres and branch offices, where both security and performance are critical. This device integrates Secure SD-WAN technology, which enables businesses to optimise their wide area network (WAN) for both performance and security. Combining the benefits of traditional WANs with advanced security features allows organisations to create a more flexible, cost-effective, and secure network infrastructure. The integrated Secure SD-WAN also ensures that applications, especially critical ones like VoIP and video conferencing, perform optimally across the WAN while maintaining strong protection against cyber threats.
The Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F supports Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW). This firewall goes beyond the traditional firewall features. It incorporates advanced security services such as deep packet inspection (DPI), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and secure application control. The supported NGFW allows the FG-101F to provide comprehensive, multi-layered security while ensuring fast and reliable network performance, making it ideal for enterprises that require robust security in addition to network performance. The FortiGate FG-101F is a powerful and versatile solution for modern network security, offering both flexibility and strong protection for complex, distributed IT environments.
Optimised Performance
Fortinet’s SPU (Security Processing Unit) and vSPU (Virtual Security Processing Unit) are specialised hardware processors integrated to optimise the performance of the Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F. These processors handle security tasks such as deep packet inspection, VPN, IPS, and other complex network security functions with high efficiency, ensuring that security does not compromise network speed. Together, the SPU and vSPU provide industry-leading performance, allowing the FortiGate FG-101F to maintain robust security features like intrusion prevention, application control, and web filtering, even under heavy network loads.


Secure Networking
The Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F leverages FortiOS, Fortinet's powerful operating system, to offer a secure networking solution that integrates both networking and security functions into a single, streamlined platform. This integration enables the firewall to handle core networking tasks like routing and switching while providing advanced security features such as threat protection, intrusion prevention, and web filtering. The FortiOS platform is designed to scale as the network grows, meaning businesses can continue to rely on the FG-101F even as their needs change. Whether in small branch offices or large distributed networks, the FortiGate FG-101F operating system (FortiOS) ensures that security remains robust without compromising on performance.
Enterprise-Level Security
Powered by AI and Machine Learning (ML), the Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F integrates FortiGuard services to provide advanced, enterprise-level security. The FortiGuard services offer proactive threat intelligence and dynamic security capabilities that evolve with emerging threats, ensuring continuous protection for your network. It utilises AI and ML to analyse vast amounts of data and identify patterns in network traffic, which helps detect even the most sophisticated and previously unknown threats. The data is automatically updated in real time, allowing the FortiGate FG-101F to stay ahead of attackers without requiring manual intervention.
Uninterrupted Operation
The Fortinet Fortigate FG-101F comes with dual built-in, non-hot swappable power supplies that help ensure uninterrupted operation by providing a backup in case one power supply fails. The inclusion of dual power supplies enhances the FortiGate FG-101F's durability and uptime, ensuring that security and network protection continue without interruption, even in the event of a hardware failure.
