FG-900GFortinet FortiGate 900G
List PriceThe Fortinet FortiGate 900G combines AI-powered security and machine learning to deliver threat protection at scale, with deep visibility into applications, users and devices. It delivers 164 Gbps firewall throughput, 26 Gbps IPS throughput and 20 Gbps full threat protection throughput.
It runs the same AI/ML-powered FortiGuard security services and integrated Security Fabric platform as the rest of the G-series, combining edge protection, network segmentation and secure SD-WAN in a single appliance to reduce complexity across hybrid IT networks.
Universal ZTNA controls, verifies and facilitates user access to applications, reducing lateral threats by granting access only to validated users, while high-throughput threat protection and SSL inspection secure the edge without a heavy performance penalty.

Frequently asked questions
Bundle or hardware only?
Hardware only is the appliance with no FortiGuard subscription — for buyers who licence separately or are renewing existing cover. Bundles add FortiCare Premium support plus FortiGuard UTP or Enterprise Protection services for 1, 3 or 5 years in a single SKU.
What's the difference between the 900G and 901G?
The 901G adds 2× 480 GB onboard SSD storage for local logging and reporting; the 900G has none. The 901G also weighs marginally more (16.53 lbs against 15.98 lbs) and draws slightly more power (144 W / 264 W average/maximum against 134 W / 252 W). All other headline specifications match.
Is the 900G right for a large enterprise or data-centre edge?
With 164 Gbps firewall throughput, 16 million concurrent sessions and Security Fabric management for over 1,000 FortiAPs, the 900G is built for large enterprise cores and data-centre edges rather than a branch site.
