The FortiGate-
1000AFA2 Security 
System is a 
high-performance 
solution for the most 
demanding large 
enterprise and service 
providers. The FortiGate-1000AFA2 features two extra optical fiber ports with 
Fortinet’s FortiAccel™ technology, enhancing small packet performance. The 
FortiGate-1000AFA2 also delivers critical security functions in a hardened security 
platform, tuned for reliability, usability, rapid deployment, low operational costs 
and most importantly a superior detection rate against known and unknown 
anomalies.

The FortiGate-1000 unit is 
designed for larger 
enterprises. The FortiGate-
1000 meets the needs of 
the most demanding applications, using multiple CPUs and FortiASIC chips to

The FortiGate-800 provides 
high throughput, a total of 
eight network connections, 
(four of which are user-
defined), VLAN support, and virtual domains. The FortiGate-800 also provides 
stateful failover HA, when you are configuring a cluster of FortiGate units.The 
FortiGate-800 is a natural choice for large enterprises, who demand top network 
security performance. 
FortiGate-800F
The FortiGate-800F
provides the same features 
as the FortiGate-800, using 
four fibre-optic Internal, 
External, DMZ and HA interfaces. The FortiGate-800F also provides stateful 
failover HA, and support for the RIP and OSPF routing protocols. The FortiGate-
