Fortinet FortiGate-120G Network Security Appliance

The Fortinet FG-120G-BDL-950-36 is a network security appliance built to keep a growing business or remote site safe without creating performance roadblocks. It moves traffic at firewall speeds up to 39 Gbps and can manage about 3 million concurrent sessions, so teams can transfer files, stream video meetings, and run cloud applications smoothly even when demand spikes.

At the heart of the unit is Fortinet’s SP5 processor. This purpose-built chip lets the appliance run several layers of protection at once, including deep SSL inspection, intrusion prevention at up to 5.3 Gbps, and full threat protection at up to 2.8 Gbps. Because security services are handled in hardware, the appliance keeps latency low and user experience consistent.

Connectivity is flexible. Sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports give desks, servers, or switches a straightforward handoff, while four SFP+ 10-gig slots support high-speed uplinks or fiber runs between racks and buildings. A dedicated management port and a USB 3.0 slot simplify out-of-band setup, backups, or 4G modem failover. Dual power supplies add an extra layer of stability for sites that cannot afford downtime.

The appliance comes with three years of FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection. That subscription delivers around-the-clock access to Fortinet experts, ongoing firmware updates, and the latest threat intelligence, so in-house staff can focus on projects instead of scrambling for patches.

Typical deployments include branch offices that need secure VPN tunnels to headquarters, healthcare clinics that handle protected patient data, or distributed retail chains that process cardholder information at each store. In each situation, the FortiGate-120G provides Zero Trust Network Access capabilities and granular policy controls to keep users productive while limiting exposure.
