About the FortiGate 1200G

Active-Active and Active-Passive high availability modes are essential in production environments, and the FortiGate 1200G delivers both failover models with sub-second switchover capability. Built by Fortinet, this 2U rack-mount security appliance combines carrier-grade redundancy with exceptional throughput to protect critical network infrastructure. For network engineers and IT procurement teams deploying mission-critical security gateways, the FG-1200G offers the density, performance, and resilience required to handle enterprise-scale traffic without compromise.

The FortiGate 1200G runs Fortinet's FortiOS and leverages dual NP7 and CP9 ASICs to deliver ~800 Gbps firewall throughput under IMIX conditions with hardware acceleration. Its architecture supports ~200 million concurrent sessions and ~900,000 new sessions per second, enabling sustained protection across massive networks. The appliance features 16 × 10GbE SFP+ interfaces, 4 × 25GbE SFP28 interfaces, and 8 × 1GbE RJ-45 ports, with dual redundant hot-swappable AC power supplies and 2 × 480 GB SSDs included. Threat protection reaches ~30 Gbps, IPsec VPN throughput peaks at ~70 Gbps, and SSL inspection maintains ~25 Gbps. IPv4, IPv6, VLAN (802.1Q), SD-WAN, ZTNA, and routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, RIP) are fully supported, alongside dedicated out-of-band management via 1 × RJ-45 port and 1 × USB interface.
