The Fortinet FortiGate 4801F-DC is a high-performance Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) engineered for hyperscale data centers and service providers requiring DC power infrastructure. Built on Fortinet's specialized NP7 and CP9 security processing units, this 4 RU rack mount appliance delivers up to 3.1 Tbps firewall throughput and ultra-low latency as low as 3.6 μs. It is designed to ensure that advanced security inspection can be deployed at scale without becoming a performance bottleneck in high-traffic environments.

Featuring a massive array of high-speed connectivity options, including 8x 400GE/200GE QSFP-DD slots and 12x 200GE/100GE/40GE QSFP56/28 slots, the FG-4801F-DC is built to handle high-volume traffic and elephant flows in modern data center architectures. The device includes 2x 1.92TB internal SSDs for local log storage and reporting, supporting operational visibility in demanding environments. With a dedicated DC power input range of -72V to -40V, it integrates cleanly into telecommunications and data center DC power grids.
