Fortinet FortiGate-400E-BYPASS FG400EBYPASSBDL80912 | Enterprise Firewall

Maintain network continuity when inline security hardware needs service, replacement, or controlled bypass. FortiGate-400E-BYPASS hardware plus 1-year FortiCare is designed for Fortinet mid- and high-end appliance environments that cannot afford unnecessary interruption. It supports deployments where traffic availability, operational control, and vendor-backed service coverage are part of the purchasing decision. This bundle pairs bypass hardware with FortiCare support, giving infrastructure teams a practical path to protect uptime while keeping the appliance lifecycle under control. For organizations running business-critical traffic through Fortinet security layers, bypass capability can reduce the operational risk of maintenance windows and hardware events. The result is a more resilient deployment posture without changing the broader security architecture. Choose this package when the cost of downtime exceeds the cost of service assurance. It is suited to teams that need a Fortinet-specific support entitlement alongside bypass functionality for the FortiGate-400E platform. That combination helps justify the investment in environments where continuity, service response, and platform alignment matter more than a basic appliance-only purchase.
