Overview

The FortiGate 2600F is a high-performance 2 RU rack-mount next-generation firewall and unified security appliance built on Fortinet’s NP7/CP9 security ASICs. It delivers multi-gigabit firewall, VPN and threat-inspection throughput, high port density including 100 GbE and 25 GbE interfaces, and supports large session and policy scale — making it suitable for enterprise edge, data-centre perimeter, and multi-tenant or service-provider environments.

Ideal deployment / environment
The FortiGate 2600F is suited to enterprise WAN edge, data-centre perimeter, or cloud-edge gateway roles that demand high throughput, large VPN capacity and versatile high-speed connectivity. Its mix of 100 GbE, 25 GbE and 10 GbE ports supports high-capacity internet uplinks, inter-data-centre links and multi-tenant backbones.
It is also effective for multi-site, multi-tenant, or service-provider environments — including SD-WAN hubs, data-centre core gateways and encrypted traffic inspection points — delivering robust NGFW, IPS, SSL-inspection and VPN performance in a single consolidated appliance.
