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-4801F (SKU: FG-4801F) is a high-end data centre next-generation firewall from the FortiGate 4800F Series, built to deliver hyperscale security at the heart of a modern Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture. Combining multiple 400GE/200GE QSFP-DD ports with Fortinet's purpose-built NP7 network processors and CP9 content processors, it protects very high-throughput environments without compromising on inspection depth.
Powered by AI/ML-based FortiGuard Services and the integrated Fortinet Security Fabric, the FortiGate 4800F Series delivers coordinated, automated, end-to-end threat protection. It also includes integrated Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement within the NGFW, controlling and verifying user access to applications so that only validated users are granted access.
The FG-4801F is the variant that adds 2x 1.92TB onboard storage and ships with 4 AC power supplies for resilient, redundant operation. Each unit contains sixteen NP7 processors connected through an integrated switch fabric, offloading supported traffic between data interfaces for exceptional performance. The CP9 content processor accelerates resource-intensive SSL (including TLS 1.3) decryption, pattern matching, IPS pre-scan/pre-match and antivirus processing. A dedicated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardens the appliance by generating, storing and authenticating cryptographic keys. When licensed for the Hyperscale Firewall feature set, the NP7 processors can also accelerate CGNAT features.
