Fortinet FortiGate 2000E Plus 1yr 24X7

FG‑2000E‑BDL‑950‑12 is a bundled package that includes the FortiGate 2000E high‑performance security appliance along with a 1‑year 24×7 FortiCare support contract and FortiGuard UTM/Unified Threat Protection license.

The appliance delivers enterprise-grade firewall and next‑generation security functions with features like:

  • High throughput (up to 90 Gbps firewall, and multi‑gigabit threat protection)

  • 32 × GE RJ‑45 ports plus 6 × 10GE SFP+ slots for flexible connectivity

  • Hardware acceleration (SPU / NP / CP engines) to maintain performance with security services enabled

  • 480 GB SSD onboard storage, dual power supplies, rack‑mount form factor for reliability and deployment flexibility

  • 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.)
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
