FG-3000F-DCFortinet FortiGate 3000F-DC
List PriceThe FortiGate 3000F Series is built for security-driven networking across the datacentre and hybrid IT estate, protecting network edges at scale. Powered by Fortinet's AI/ML-based FortiGuard Services and an integrated Security Fabric platform, it delivers coordinated, automated threat protection across all deployment use cases.
Built-in Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement controls and verifies user access to applications directly within the NGFW, giving consistent, converged access control without additional overlay hardware.
An optional perpetual Hyperscale Firewall License unlocks further performance by hardware-accelerating CGNAT features — including hardware session setup, session logging and NAT — using Fortinet's SPU NP7 processor. The FG-3000F-DC ships with two DC power supplies for telco and data-centre racks running DC power.
Key features
- SPU NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor hardware acceleration
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement built into the NGFW
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) built in
- Two DC power supplies, 1+1 redundancy, hot-swappable
- Optional perpetual Hyperscale Firewall License for hardware-accelerated CGNAT
- Up to 500 virtual domains (VDOMs)
- Supports up to 300 FortiSwitches and 4,096 FortiAPs
- 6x 100GE QSFP28, 16x 25GE SFP28/10GE SFP+ and 16x 10GE RJ45 interfaces

Frequently asked questions
Hardware-only or a bundle?
The hardware-only SKU (FG-3000F-DC) is the appliance alone. The bundle SKUs add 1, 3 or 5 years of FortiCare Premium support plus either FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection (UTP) or Enterprise Protection, which most deployments need for ongoing IPS, antivirus and web/URL filtering updates.
3000F-DC vs 3000F — what's different?
The two share the same interfaces and performance figures in Fortinet's datasheet. The difference is power input: the FG-3000F-DC takes two DC power supplies for telco and data-centre racks running DC power, where the base FG-3000F takes AC.
How do I size the right model?
Check the enterprise-mix throughput figures (36 Gbps IPS, 34 Gbps NGFW, 33 Gbps Threat Protection) against expected inspected traffic, and the capacity figures — up to 230 million concurrent TCP sessions and 200,000 firewall policies — against session counts and policy complexity.
