About the Fortinet FortiGate 400F Network Firewall
Intrusion prevention, application visibility, SSL inspection, and sandboxing capabilities come integrated into the Fortinet FortiGate 400F, a high-performance 1U rack-mount network firewall engineered for data centers and large enterprise environments where security throughput and session capacity are non-negotiable. The FG-400F combines next-generation firewall intelligence with carrier-grade reliability, delivering firewall throughput of 65 Gbps while maintaining 16 Gbps NGFW throughput, 9.5 Gbps threat protection throughput, 9 Gbps SSL inspection throughput, and 55 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput to protect mission-critical traffic without performance compromise.
Built on Fortinet's dual security processing architecture with NP7 and CP9 units, the FortiGate 400F handles 8,000,000 concurrent sessions and processes 600,000 new sessions per second, making it ideal for network engineers and IT procurement teams managing high-density multi-tenant or cloud-adjacent infrastructure. The appliance features 4 × 25GE SFP28 interfaces, 8 × 10GE SFP+ interfaces, and 16 × GE RJ45 interfaces for flexible connectivity across modern data center topologies. Management is provided through 1 × GE RJ45 out-of-band management port, 1 × RJ45 console port, and 1 × USB port. Redundant power supply architecture with dual hot-swappable PSUs ensures continuous operation, while 2 × 480 GB SSD storage and support for up to 500 Virtual Domains (10 default) enable multi-tenant segmentation and policy isolation. FortiOS powers the platform with robust automation and orchestration capabilities.
Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Multi-tenant service provider networks requiring isolated security policies across 500 virtual domains
- Data center east-west segmentation with high-speed 25GE and 10GE interconnects
- Encrypted traffic inspection across SSL-enabled application workloads at 9 Gbps sustained throughput
- Site-to-site VPN hub consolidation supporting 55 Gbps IPsec capacity and 8 million concurrent sessions
- Threat intelligence integration for IPS, application control, and advanced sandbox detection workflows
