-
The FortiGate 2000E hardware appliance
-
FortiCare 24×7 support for one year (hardware warranty, support, firmware updates)
-
FortiGuard UTM / UTP (Unified Threat Management / Unified Threat Protection) license for one year, covering services such as:
• IPS / intrusion prevention
• Antivirus / anti‑malware
• Web filtering / URL filtering
• Application control
• Anti‑spam
• Botnet / domain / IP reputation services
• Other content security and threat protection features
• Security updates and signature updates during the license period
Key Advantages
-
Hardware-accelerated security (SPU + NP / CP engines)
The FG‑2000E uses Fortinet’s ASIC / Security Processing Units (SPU / NP6 / CP9) which offload certain network and security tasks (such as packet forwarding, SSL decryption, IPS signature matching) from the general-purpose CPU. This means you can enable advanced security features (IPS, SSL inspection, application control) with less performance degradation. -
High throughput even under full security load
Delivers industry’s best threat protection performance and ultra-low latency using purpose-built security processor (SPU) technology. Provides industry-leading performance and protection for SSL encrypted traffic. Because of the hardware acceleration, it can maintain strong performance even when multiple security services are active:
- Up to ~ 90 Gbps firewall throughput for large packets
-
Strong IPS, SSL inspection, and threat protection possible while still supporting heavy traffic loads
- Low latency / minimal impact on real-time traffic
The device offers ultra-low latency (e.g. ~2 microseconds on small packet flows) which is important for time-sensitive applications (VoIP, trading, etc.) - Consolidation of security functions (UTM / NGFW) in one device
Because the bundle includes FortiGuard / UTM features for a year, you get a unified security stack: firewall, IPS, antivirus, web filtering, application control, etc., without needing to deploy separate devices for each function. This simplifies management and reduces the number of devices to integrate. - Onboard storage for logs and visibility
The FG‑2000E includes a 480 GB SSD onboard, which allows storing logs, traffic data, and history locally. This reduces immediate dependence on external logging / analysis appliances. -
Redundancy, reliability and enterprise-grade form factor
- Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies (for resilience)
- 2U rack-mount form factor (suitable for data center / enterprise racks)
- Designed for robust operation (heat, power) in enterprise environments
Certification
- Independently tested and validated best security effectiveness and performance
- Received unparalleled third-party certifications from NSS Labs, ICSA, Virus Bulletin and AV Comparatives
Networking
- Delivers an extensive routing, switching, wireless controller and high performance IPsec VPN capabilities to consolidate networking and security functionality
- Enables flexible deployment modes that fit into organizations’ evolving network infrastructure requirements with high port density and high-speed interfaces
Management
- Single Pane of Glass with Network Operations Center (NOC) view provides 360° visibility to identify issues quickly and intuitively
- Predefined compliance checklist analyzes the deployment and highlights best practices to improve overall security posture
Security Fabric & integration potential
The FG‑2000E can integrate with Fortinet’s broader Security Fabric, sharing threat intelligence, coordinating responses across devices, and enforcing policies uniformly across network segments. This gives a more coherent and holistic security posture (especially in multi-device / hybrid deployments).
Strengths & Advantages of This Bundle
-
All-in-one / turnkey: Because the UTM / threat protection license is included, you get hardware + services in one package, rather than having to assemble them separately.
-
Strong performance even with security features turned on: Because of its hardware (ASIC / SPU accelerators, large SSD, etc.), it maintains high throughput even when IPS/SSL inspection/web filtering are enabled.
-
High interface & port density: 32 GE ports + 6 10GE slots give flexibility for both access and aggregation / uplinks.
-
Scalable for large environments: Supports large numbers of concurrent sessions, many policies, VDOMs, many VPNs. Good for enterprise, data center, or service provider environments.
-
Resilience & reliability: Dual power supplies, rack form factor, ability to be placed in high availability configurations.
-
Strong support / updates for one year: The FortiCare + FortiGuard license gives support, firmware updates, security signature updates, etc. That ensures your security stack remains current for that year.
FG-2000E-BDL-950-12 Application Scenarios
1. Enterprise Data Center Edge Firewall
A large enterprise needs a high-throughput firewall at its data center perimeter to filter inbound and outbound traffic, inspect encrypted SSL traffic, and enforce security policies. This is because FG-2000E is provided with:
