Overview

The FortiGate 4400F is a high-capacity, 4U rack-mount next-generation firewall and security gateway engineered for large enterprises, cloud providers, service providers and hyperscale data-centre environments. It combines ultra-high firewall throughput, carrier-grade VPN capacity, massive session scale and full FortiOS-driven unified security.
With its hardware-accelerated architecture, 100 GbE connectivity and multi-gigabit port density, FG-4400F is built to serve as a core security and backbone gateway for high-volume, latency-sensitive and encrypted traffic environments.

Ideal deployment / environment
The FortiGate 4400F is ideally suited to serve as the core firewall and gateway for large-scale data centres, cloud-service providers, multi-tenant facilities, and backbone internet edge infrastructure. Its throughput and port flexibility handle extremely high-bandwidth uplinks, inter-data centre traffic and encrypted traffic inspection without bottlenecks.
It is equally effective in service-provider cores, national or global backbones, cloud-edge aggregation nodes, and large-enterprise WAN hubs. The FG-4400F enables consolidation of firewall, VPN, SSL inspection, DDoS mitigation and traffic inspection into a single, scalable platform — delivering long-term performance headroom for growing network and security demands.
