Fortinet FG-4200F-DC Firewall 8x 100GE, 18x 25GE | Enterprise, Rack Mount

Keep high-volume security enforcement close to the workloads that depend on it. The FortiGate 4200F DC is built for large enterprise and service provider environments that need serious port density without sacrificing inspection performance. Its 8x 100GE/40GE QSFP28 slots and 18x 25GE/10GE SFP28 slots give architects the flexibility to terminate high-speed uplinks, aggregation links, and server-facing connections in one chassis. Hardware acceleration from SPU NP7 and CP9 helps maintain security processing at scale, so policy enforcement does not become the bottleneck as traffic grows. Dual DC power supplies support resilient deployment in data center racks where power architecture is already standardized around DC distribution. This model fits teams that need to protect east-west traffic, segment critical application tiers, and preserve headroom for future bandwidth growth. Compared with smaller appliances, the 4200F DC is about density and sustained performance under load — the kind of platform you choose when replacing multiple lower-capacity firewalls would create more operational risk than value.
