Fast Decision Summary for Business Buyers
The 91G is best considered when a business needs more than a basic branch firewall but still wants a compact desktop appliance. It combines high raw firewall capacity with deeper inspection performance, flexible shared-media uplinks and onboard storage. The most important buying decision is not only the model name: the buyer should match the appliance to real inspected traffic, internet bandwidth, VPN design, security subscriptions and expected growth.
Growing offices, branches, retail or service locations, distributed companies and secure edge deployments that need substantial throughput in a small form factor.
Converged firewalling, secure SD-WAN and security services reduce the need to treat routing and protection as separate projects.
Confirm security profiles, bandwidth under inspection, license bundle, remote-access method, local logging needs and high-availability expectations.
The FortiGate 91G includes local SSD storage; the related 90G model does not. This difference can matter for logging design and procurement.
Product Overview
Modern branch networks carry far more than ordinary web browsing. A single office may depend on cloud ERP, Microsoft 365, voice and video meetings, customer portals, payment systems, remote administration, guest Wi-Fi, IP surveillance, SaaS applications and site-to-site links to head office or cloud infrastructure. The security gateway therefore has to inspect traffic without becoming the weakest performance point. Fortinet positions the 90G family as a converged NGFW and SD-WAN platform for distributed enterprise sites, and the 91G uses that platform while adding internal SSD storage.
For the buyer, the practical value comes from consolidation. FortiOS provides a common operating environment for firewall policy, routing, VPN, SD-WAN, segmentation, application control and security services. Depending on the FortiGuard subscription selected, the deployment can incorporate intrusion prevention, malware protection, web or DNS filtering, application controls and other inspection services. This means the project can be designed around one policy platform rather than several independent appliances that each need separate management.
The hardware is also designed for networks where standard 1GbE uplinks are no longer enough. Two shared-media interface pairs can be used through 10/5/2.5/1GbE copper or 10GbE/1GbE SFP+/SFP connectivity, while eight Gigabit Ethernet internal ports support local network connections. This mix gives an administrator flexibility when the ISP handoff, upstream switch or fiber architecture changes. It is especially useful for companies upgrading internet circuits, introducing faster LAN aggregation or planning a new office where the firewall should not immediately become an interface bottleneck.
The model is relevant to UAE buyers because many business networks combine local offices with cloud services and regional sites. FourTeck.com can help translate the project into a commercial scope: hardware-only or bundled services, FortiCare term, FortiGuard protection level, optics and cabling, deployment support, migration requirements and renewal planning. That helps procurement teams compare like-for-like options rather than choosing a firewall only from headline throughput or a single price.
Key Business Benefits
◆ Performance Headroom
Up to 28/28/27.9 Gbps firewall throughput gives the platform substantial capacity for packet forwarding. More importantly, buyers can size around the lower inspection figures when IPS, application control and threat protection are active, producing a more realistic security design.
◆ Secure Branch Connectivity
Integrated SD-WAN and IPsec VPN capabilities help organizations connect branches, cloud services and head-office resources while applying security policy. This can simplify multi-site architecture and reduce dependence on separate routing platforms.
◆ Flexible High-Speed Interfaces
Shared copper and optical 10GbE-capable interfaces allow the same appliance to adapt to different ISP handoffs or aggregation designs. Buyers can plan copper today and fiber later without automatically changing the firewall.
◆ Local Storage Option
The 91G adds 120 GB of internal SSD storage. For projects where local logs or appliance-level storage are part of the operational plan, this can make it a better fit than the closely related 90G.
◆ Unified Security Operations
FortiOS brings networking and security controls into a common environment. For IT teams, consistent policy and visibility can be easier to maintain than fragmented tools, especially when multiple Fortinet components are used across the network.
◆ Scalable Ecosystem Planning
The appliance can be part of a broader Fortinet architecture that includes FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer. This helps growing organizations standardize branch security and management as their environment expands.
These benefits matter most when they are matched to the actual project. A lightly used office may not need every capability, while a branch carrying encrypted SaaS traffic, multiple VPNs and several security profiles should be assessed on inspected throughput rather than raw firewall speed. FourTeck can help review this difference so the purchased bundle aligns with day-to-day use.
Product Highlights That Matter During Evaluation
Fortinet’s current product matrix lists up to 28 / 28 / 27.9 Gbps firewall throughput for the 90G platform across 1518-, 512- and 64-byte UDP packets. Enterprise-mix figures are up to 4.5 Gbps for IPS, 2.5 Gbps for NGFW and 2.2 Gbps for threat protection. These are the more useful figures when a buyer wants to understand performance with security inspection enabled. The same matrix lists up to 25 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, 3 million concurrent TCP sessions and up to 124,000 new sessions per second.
The front-panel architecture includes two 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces and two multi-gigabit RJ45 WAN interfaces arranged as shared-media pairs, plus eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports. Two of the internal ports are FortiLink interfaces in Fortinet’s documented architecture. This gives the firewall a useful combination of standard LAN connectivity and faster uplink choices without requiring a rack-sized appliance.
A current planning point is remote access. Fortinet documentation states that SSL VPN is not supported on FortiGate 90G and 91G models in current FortiOS guidance, and recommends migration toward IPsec dial-up VPN or other supported access approaches. Buyers replacing an older FortiGate should therefore review existing remote-user VPN design before purchase instead of assuming that legacy SSL VPN settings will transfer unchanged.
Technical Specifications
When comparing this appliance with smaller or larger FortiGate models, avoid using firewall throughput alone. A company that runs IPS, application control, malware inspection and web filtering should pay greater attention to NGFW and threat-protection figures. A company using the firewall mainly as a site-to-site VPN gateway may emphasize IPsec performance and tunnel limits. Organizations integrating FortiSwitch or FortiAP should also confirm the scale and management design. Local storage is another decision point: the 91G is selected specifically when the storage-equipped variant is useful, while some projects may rely primarily on centralized or cloud logging.
Configuration and Buyer Guidance
A strong firewall purchase starts with an accurate network profile. Before asking for a quotation, identify the internet circuit speed today and the expected speed over the next three to five years. Then separate raw bandwidth from inspected bandwidth. If the company plans to enable IPS, application control, anti-malware services and other security profiles on most traffic, the sizing target should be based on those inspection figures rather than the headline 28 Gbps firewall number.
Count staff, servers, phones, cameras, guest devices, IoT equipment and branch links that will generate sessions through the firewall.
Confirm primary and backup ISP speeds, handoff type, public IP details, static routing or dynamic routing needs and SD-WAN policy requirements.
Document site-to-site tunnels, remote users and authentication requirements. Do not assume an older SSL VPN design can be migrated unchanged to this model.
Decide which FortiGuard services are required and choose a suitable FortiCare/support term. Compare bundles on actual protection needs.
Confirm whether 120 GB local storage is part of the logging plan or whether FortiAnalyzer, FortiGate Cloud or another centralized approach will be used.
Identify SFP+ optics, copper modules where applicable, patch leads, rack shelf or mount, UPS capacity and any switching or wireless integration requirements.
For the clearest recommendation, send FourTeck.com the current firewall model, ISP bandwidth, number of locations, expected remote users, required security services, preferred subscription term, logging expectation and target deployment date. This allows the quotation to include the correct hardware and support scope instead of leaving critical items to be discovered during installation.
Ideal Business Use Cases
Branch Office Security Edge
A regional branch can use the appliance as the secure internet gateway while connecting to head office or cloud networks over IPsec. SD-WAN policy can help use multiple WAN links efficiently, while security profiles control internet traffic and business applications.
Growing Corporate Office
Companies moving beyond a small firewall can use the 91G when internet circuits, SaaS traffic and user activity have increased. The multi-gigabit and 10GbE-capable interfaces provide room for faster uplinks without immediately stepping into a much larger chassis.
Warehouse and Logistics Site
A warehouse may need to separate scanners, ERP terminals, office users, IP cameras, guest wireless and operational devices into controlled zones. The firewall can enforce policy between those networks while maintaining protected connectivity to a central system.
Retail or Hospitality Branch
Sites that combine staff systems, payment-related traffic, guest internet and cloud services benefit from clear segmentation and application-aware controls. A structured policy design helps isolate higher-risk or public-facing networks from business systems.
Multi-Site SD-WAN Deployment
Organizations with several locations can standardize branch connectivity around FortiGate policy and SD-WAN. Centralized management can then become part of the project if the number of appliances or operational complexity grows.
Local Log Requirement
Where the project specifically values onboard storage, the 91G is the relevant variant in this family. The local SSD can support appliance-level logging needs, while longer retention may still require centralized storage or reporting services.
The model should not be chosen by industry label alone. A small office with exceptionally high encrypted traffic may need more performance than a larger office with modest internet use. Conversely, a branch with many endpoints but limited bandwidth may fit comfortably if inspection and session requirements remain within design limits. FourTeck can help assess the traffic pattern, security profile and growth plan behind the use case.
FortiGate 91G Security Performance and Inspection
Firewall performance is often misunderstood because different numbers describe different workloads. The raw firewall result shows how quickly the appliance can forward traffic under a specific test. That is valuable, but it does not tell the whole story for a business that intends to run IPS, application recognition and other security services. Fortinet’s enterprise-mix values give a more practical reference: up to 4.5 Gbps IPS, 2.5 Gbps NGFW and 2.2 Gbps threat-protection throughput for this platform.
This distinction matters during procurement. Imagine a company with a 2 Gbps internet service that expects to inspect most outbound and inbound traffic. The raw 28 Gbps firewall number may make the appliance look oversized, yet the threat-protection figure is much closer to the actual security workload. Growth, encrypted traffic, traffic bursts and internal routing through the firewall should also be included. A sensible design normally leaves operating headroom rather than sizing exactly at the published maximum.
The 3 million concurrent-session capability and 124,000 new sessions per second can also be useful for busy SaaS-heavy environments, guest networks and branches where many devices create short-lived connections. These figures do not mean every business needs millions of sessions, but they show that session handling is unlikely to be the first constraint for many ordinary branch deployments. The real constraint may instead be deep inspection, WAN bandwidth or policy complexity.
FortiGate 91G High-Speed Connectivity and Secure SD-WAN
The physical interface design is one of the strongest reasons to consider the 90G family. Fortinet documents two SFP+ interfaces and two multi-gigabit RJ45 WAN interfaces as shared-media pairs. In practical terms, each pair gives a choice between optical and copper media rather than independent simultaneous use of both connectors in the pair. This gives network designers flexibility while still requiring careful port planning.
A company may receive a 10GbE fiber handoff from an ISP, connect to an upstream aggregation switch over SFP+, or use multi-gig copper where the cabling and switch support it. The eight internal Gigabit Ethernet ports are useful for direct LAN connectivity or segmented zones, although larger environments will typically connect the firewall to managed access or distribution switches rather than using the appliance as the only switch.
Secure SD-WAN adds another layer of value when the site has more than one WAN circuit. Policies can be designed around application priorities, link health and business requirements so that an organization is not treating every internet connection as a simple active/backup pair. For cloud-dependent offices, this can improve resilience and application experience while keeping security policy on the same platform.
Before ordering optics or planning 10GbE connectivity, confirm the exact transceiver type, fiber standard, cable length, upstream device compatibility and shared-port behavior. A technically capable firewall can still be delayed by a missing SFP+, incompatible optic or incorrect patch lead. FourTeck can include these supporting items in the quotation discussion where the deployment scope is known.
FortiGate 91G Local Storage, Management and Operational Planning
The defining hardware difference between the FortiGate 90G and 91G is local storage. The 91G includes a 120 GB SSD, which can support local logging and operational use cases where onboard storage is desirable. That does not automatically replace a centralized log platform for organizations with long retention periods, compliance reporting or several firewalls, but it gives administrators an additional local resource.
Logging strategy should be decided before deployment. An organization may keep a useful amount of recent data locally while forwarding logs to FortiAnalyzer, cloud logging or another central platform for retention and investigation. The right approach depends on event volume, security policy, reporting needs and the number of Fortinet devices. Buyers should therefore view the SSD as part of an overall log architecture rather than as an unlimited archive.
Management can also expand beyond a single appliance. FortiManager may be appropriate when a business operates multiple FortiGate devices and wants centralized policy administration, configuration control and coordinated changes. FortiAnalyzer can be considered where reporting, analytics and centralized log review are important. FortiSwitch and FortiAP integration can extend the security architecture into wired and wireless access.
Power and physical placement are practical considerations too. The appliance is a compact desktop unit rather than a native 1RU rack chassis. In a professional cabinet, a shelf or suitable mounting arrangement may be needed. Fortinet documents optional dual-input power using external adapters, so projects requiring power redundancy should confirm the correct accessories and connect each input to an appropriate protected power source or UPS arrangement.
What Should You Know Before Choosing This Firewall?
The questions below reflect the practical decisions that IT managers, administrators and procurement teams usually face before committing to this platform. They focus on fit, inspection load, connectivity, licensing, migration and operational planning rather than only model specifications.
Is the 91G suitable for a branch with a multi-gigabit internet circuit?
It can be, because the appliance supports multi-gigabit and 10GbE-capable shared-media WAN interfaces and has strong firewall performance. The decision should be based on inspected traffic, not the ISP speed alone. If most traffic will use IPS, application control and threat protection, compare expected peak load with the 4.5 Gbps IPS, 2.5 Gbps NGFW and 2.2 Gbps threat-protection figures and leave operating headroom.
When should a buyer choose the 91G instead of the 90G?
Choose the storage-equipped variant when local SSD capacity is a defined requirement. Both models belong to the same performance family, but the 91G includes a 120 GB SSD whereas the 90G does not. If the organization sends all logs to a central platform and does not need local storage, the 90G may also deserve consideration. The final choice should follow the logging and operational design.
Can it replace an older FortiGate that currently uses SSL VPN?
Replacement is possible only with remote-access redesign where needed. Current Fortinet guidance states that SSL VPN is not supported on the 90G and 91G models. Buyers should inventory existing remote users, authentication, access rules and FortiClient behavior, then plan a supported method such as IPsec dial-up VPN or another approved access architecture before migration. This is an important pre-purchase check.
How should a business estimate the right security subscription?
Start with the risks and controls the organization actually needs. Requirements may include intrusion prevention, malware protection, web or DNS filtering, application control and other FortiGuard services. Hardware-only pricing is not the same as a full security solution. Ask for the selected bundle and FortiCare term to be stated clearly on the quotation so renewal dates, coverage and long-term operating cost are understood.
What must be checked before using the 10GbE shared-media ports?
Confirm whether the connection will use copper or SFP+, the required speed, transceiver type, cable and upstream device. The connectors operate as shared-media pairs, so the copper and optical side of the same pair are alternatives rather than separate independent links. Review the physical topology before ordering optics to avoid buying incompatible modules or assuming more simultaneous high-speed ports than the hardware provides.
Does the 120 GB SSD remove the need for centralized logging?
Not necessarily. Local storage is useful for appliance-level logging and short-term operational visibility, but organizations with long retention requirements, multiple sites, audit needs or centralized analysis may still want FortiAnalyzer, cloud logging or another supported destination. Estimate daily log volume and retention objectives before deciding whether local storage alone is sufficient.
Can this appliance manage FortiSwitch and FortiAP environments?
The Fortinet product matrix lists support for up to 24 FortiSwitch units and 128 FortiAPs in total, with up to 64 in tunnel mode. Those figures are maximum platform values, not a recommendation that every deployment should run at the limit. Network design, traffic patterns, firmware, controller features and operational complexity should be reviewed when the firewall will act as a central management point.
What should be prepared for a migration from another firewall brand?
Prepare WAN settings, public IPs, NAT rules, objects, security policies, VLANs, routing, VPN definitions, authentication sources, published services and a current network diagram. Decide which rules are still required instead of blindly copying legacy configuration. A migration window, rollback plan and validation checklist are also important. FourTeck can use this information to scope configuration and deployment assistance accurately.
What information produces a more accurate quotation?
Provide the delivery location, preferred FortiCare and FortiGuard term, current firewall, internet bandwidth, number of branches, remote-access requirement, WAN handoff type, expected optics, local logging need, high-availability requirement and whether installation or migration assistance is expected. This gives sales and technical teams enough context to quote the correct hardware and services instead of only the base appliance.
Business Requirements to Match Before You Buy
For businesses that need faster WAN handoffs
The multi-gig copper and SFP+ shared-media pairs are useful when a branch is moving beyond ordinary Gigabit internet or needs a faster uplink to the switching layer. Confirm media type and shared-port usage before purchase.
For teams planning stronger inspection
Use the IPS, NGFW and threat-protection figures as the sizing reference when deep security services are expected. This gives a more realistic view of headroom than raw firewall throughput.
For projects that need local logs
The 120 GB SSD makes the 91G appropriate when onboard storage is specifically requested. Buyers with longer retention or several appliances should still plan centralized logging.
For companies replacing an older remote-access design
Review VPN architecture before migration because current Fortinet guidance does not support SSL VPN on this model. Plan a supported access method and user migration path in advance.
For multi-site standardization
Secure SD-WAN, IPsec and the Fortinet ecosystem make the platform relevant to organizations standardizing branch security. Central management may become useful as the number of appliances grows.
For procurement teams comparing complete solutions
Ask for hardware, security subscriptions, FortiCare, optics, deployment and renewal implications to be separated clearly. That makes competing quotations easier to compare on total scope rather than base price.
These requirement-led checks help identify whether the appliance fits the operational need before the organization commits to a license term or migration date. They are also useful when multiple FortiGate models appear technically capable: the right selection is the one that meets the security workload, interface plan, logging requirement and support expectations with sensible room for growth.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
A firewall quote can look complete while still missing important project items. Before approval, compare the exact part number, subscription bundle, FortiCare term, migration scope, remote-access plan and required accessories. A base FG-91G appliance and a multi-year FortiGuard bundle are not commercially equivalent, even though both may be described simply as a FortiGate 91G. Procurement should insist on a clear bill of materials.
Configuration Fit
Check internet speed, inspected traffic, users, devices, VPNs and growth. If the firewall is undersized for security inspection, raw forwarding capacity will not solve the problem.
Compatibility Check
Confirm optics, upstream switches, routing, authentication, existing Fortinet components and supported FortiOS features. Pay particular attention to remote-access VPN requirements.
Availability and Support
Ask for current hardware availability, subscription entitlement, FortiCare term and warranty handling guidance. Do not assume the same lead time applies to every bundle or quantity.
Quote Preparation
Provide part number if known, delivery location, license duration, installation requirement, ISP handoff, migration deadline, logging expectation and accessories needed.
Long-term cost also deserves attention. Security subscriptions and support renew on a term basis, so a low initial hardware price does not represent the complete operating cost. Compare one-, three- or five-year options where available and appropriate, and consider whether centralized management or logging services will be added later. If the site needs redundant power, high availability, specialized optics or professional migration, include those items during budgeting rather than treating them as unexpected extras.
FourTeck.com approaches this stage as a requirement review. The objective is to reduce wrong-model selection, missing subscriptions, incompatible optics and rushed migrations. A short technical discussion before the purchase order can prevent costly changes after the firewall arrives.
UAE Availability and Service Support
FourTeck.com supports firewall inquiries in Dubai and across the UAE with assistance for product selection, configuration review, quote preparation, delivery coordination and warranty guidance. Availability can vary according to the exact part number, whether the order is hardware-only or bundled with FortiGuard and FortiCare services, the subscription duration, supplier status and requested quantity. For that reason, buyers should request current confirmation rather than relying on an older availability statement.
A useful inquiry includes more than the product name. Share the desired support term, security bundle, internet bandwidth, number of sites, remote-access requirement and whether local storage is important. If the firewall will connect to a high-speed fiber or copper handoff, include the required interface and optic details. If installation or migration is expected, provide the current firewall model and proposed change window. These points allow the quotation to reflect the complete project rather than only the appliance.
Warranty and support handling also depend on the purchased coverage. FortiCare options and hardware replacement entitlements should be confirmed on the quote so the IT and procurement teams understand the service level before deployment. FourTeck can help explain the commercial difference between available bundle options and coordinate the inquiry through the appropriate supplier channel.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman Coverage
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman can contact FourTeck.com for firewall availability, configuration guidance and quotation assistance. The same requirement-led process applies across these locations: confirm the site bandwidth, users, number of branches, FortiGuard and FortiCare term, WAN handoff, VPN needs, local logging requirement and deployment scope. This approach is useful for a single office as well as a company standardizing several UAE locations. Delivery coordination and service availability depend on the selected product, supplier status and project requirements, so buyers should provide the final destination and expected timeline when requesting the quote.
GCC and Africa Availability
FourTeck.com also supports business technology inquiries for selected GCC and Africa markets through its regional channels. Organizations with sites in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait or Bahrain may need the same firewall model standardized across several branches, while companies with operations in Kenya, Uganda or other Africa markets may be building secure links back to UAE headquarters or regional cloud platforms. In these scenarios, consistent part numbers, subscription terms, firmware planning and policy design can simplify long-term administration.
Regional procurement requires additional checks. Delivery options, import handling, local support arrangements, warranty procedures, power accessories and subscription registration may vary by country. A project that works commercially in one market should not automatically be assumed identical in another. FourTeck can coordinate the initial product and configuration discussion, then route inquiries through the relevant regional platform where appropriate.
For regional projects, share a site list, expected quantity, preferred FortiGuard/FortiCare term, deployment schedule and whether each location will use the same WAN and logging architecture. Useful regional resources include FourTeck Kenya, FourTeck Uganda, FourTeck Africa and FourTeck Kuwait.
Other Fortinet Options Buyers May Consider
Firewall selection is easier when adjacent models are considered against the same requirements. A smaller model may be enough for a modest branch, while a larger platform can provide more inspection headroom or expansion capacity. The alternatives below are useful reference points rather than automatic upgrades or downgrades.
FortiGate 90G
Closely related performance platform without the 120 GB internal SSD. Consider it when centralized logging is already part of the design and local storage is not required.
FortiGate 120G
A higher platform class for organizations that want additional inspection performance, greater expansion headroom or a different deployment profile.
FortiGate 30G
A compact option for smaller sites where bandwidth, session demand and security inspection requirements are substantially lower.
Fortinet Product Range
Explore the FourTeck Fortinet brand page when the project also includes FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer or other security components.
Enterprise Firewall Category
Review other business firewall options if the final requirement is still being sized or if procurement needs alternatives across multiple platforms.
When comparing models, keep the same checklist: inspected throughput, interface type, VPN design, local storage, support term, license bundle, physical format and expected growth. Changing models without keeping those assumptions consistent can make a comparison misleading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FortiGate 91G mainly used for?
It is used as a next-generation firewall and secure SD-WAN gateway for branch offices, growing companies and distributed sites. Typical roles include protected internet access, application control, intrusion prevention, IPsec VPN, network segmentation and branch connectivity. The exact security functions depend on FortiOS configuration and the FortiGuard services purchased with the appliance.
What is the key difference between the 90G and 91G?
The 91G includes 120 GB of internal SSD storage, while the 90G does not include that local storage. They share the same general 90G performance platform. Buyers should choose between them based on whether onboard logging or local storage is part of the operational design rather than assuming the storage model is always required.
Does the appliance support 10GbE connectivity?
Yes. Fortinet documents shared-media pairs that can use 10GbE SFP+ or multi-gigabit RJ45 connectivity. Because the copper and optical connectors are shared within each pair, buyers should plan which medium will be used and confirm the correct optics, cable type and upstream device compatibility before ordering.
Does FortiGate 91G support SSL VPN?
Current Fortinet guidance states that SSL VPN is not supported on FortiGate 90G and 91G models. Organizations migrating from an older appliance should review their remote-access design and consider supported alternatives such as IPsec dial-up VPN or another approved Fortinet access architecture before upgrading.
Do I need a FortiGuard subscription?
The hardware can be quoted separately, but many of the security capabilities businesses expect rely on FortiGuard subscriptions. The right bundle depends on required services, risk profile, support expectations and budget. Ask for the security services and FortiCare term to be clearly identified in the quotation so coverage and renewal planning are understood.
Can FourTeck.com help size the firewall?
Yes. Share the internet speed, security profiles, number of sites, user and device estimate, VPN requirements, current firewall and growth plan. Sizing should use inspected throughput where applicable, not only raw firewall throughput. FourTeck can help turn these inputs into a model and bundle discussion before a formal quote is prepared.
Is the 120 GB SSD enough for all logging?
That depends on log volume and retention objectives. The internal SSD is useful for local logging, but organizations that need longer retention, centralized reporting, multiple-firewall analytics or audit workflows may still use FortiAnalyzer, cloud logging or another supported centralized system. The logging architecture should be designed around the business requirement.
Can the firewall be used in a high-availability design?
FortiGate supports HA architectures, but a complete design requires two suitable appliances and careful planning for licensing, interfaces, switching, cabling and power. If HA is required, state this at quotation stage so the bill of materials and deployment scope reflect both units and any related support or connectivity requirements.
How do I request a quote in the UAE?
Use the FourTeck contact page and provide the requested model, delivery location, preferred support term, security bundle, quantity, internet bandwidth and installation or migration requirement. If you are unsure of the final model, include your current firewall and network details so the team can help review the configuration before pricing.
