Fortinet FortiSwitch 1048G

The Fortinet FortiSwitch 1048G is a Layer 2/3 data centre switch built to work with the FortiGate switch controller, extending Fortinet's Security Fabric management down to the top-of-rack layer.

It provides 48x GE/10GE SFP/SFP+ ports for server and access connectivity, alongside 6x 100GE QSFP28 ports for high-bandwidth uplinks or spine connections, with MACsec support for encrypting data centre links.

Dual AC power supplies give the 1048G redundant power in production rack deployments, and FortiGate switch controller compatibility means it can be centrally managed and monitored alongside the rest of a Fortinet Security Fabric estate.
