Ordering - What You Need To Know
When you order a Sophos license from us please make sure you include the license number or current hardware appliance serial number. Licenses generally take around 24 - 36 working hours to be issued after order.
In some instances you may find we show out of stock for certain hardware models. This is fairly normal and reflects the fact, often that we have to place what is called a back to back order. When you order with us, we order with Sophos and the unit is shipped in to the country. Please allow around 10 working days where we show as out of stock.
Description
Description
The Fortinet FortiGate 4201F (FG-4201F) is a high-performance data centre next-generation firewall (NGFW) from the FortiGate 4200F Series, built for organisations and service providers that need very high-speed, low-latency network security. Powered by Fortinet's purpose-built SPU NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor, it delivers hardware-accelerated firewalling, VPN and deep inspection in a compact 3U appliance.
The FG-4201F provides 8x 100GE/40GE QSFP28 slots and 18x 25GE/10GE SFP28 slots, so you can build 100GE network designs without relying on additional devices to bridge speeds. Two GE RJ45 management ports are provided for out-of-band administration. Unlike the base FG-4200F, the 4201F adds 2x 1.92TB onboard storage for local logging and reporting, and ships with 2 AC power supplies for redundancy.
Running FortiOS, the appliance sits at the heart of the Fortinet Security Fabric, combining secure networking, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) enforcement and AI/ML-powered FortiGuard security services under a single operating system and management framework.
