All performance figures are stated by Fortinet as maximums and vary with system configuration.
IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection figures are measured with logging enabled. NGFW is firewall, IPS and application control; threat protection adds malware protection.
IPsec VPN performance is tested with AES256-SHA256. SSL inspection figures are an average across HTTPS cipher suites.
This is the DC-input variant. The 4800F is the same appliance on 100-240 V AC.
There is no internal storage on this model. The 4801F-DC is the same appliance with two drives fitted.
Fortinet publishes power figures for the 4800F Series against the AC variants only; the DC models draw the same wattage from a -48 V to -60 V plant, but no DC current figure is published.
The 280 million concurrent sessions and 915,000 new sessions a second are the figures without the hyperscale licence. LIC-FG48F-HYPSC raises them to 1.8 billion and 25 million by moving session setup, session logging and NAT into the NP7.
Two 10 GE SFP+ SR transceivers are included with the appliance. Any other optics, QSFP-DD and QSFP56 modules and direct attach cables are quoted separately.
The four variants on this datasheet - AC or DC power, with or without internal storage - share every performance figure. Only the storage, the weight, the power draw and the input differ.
The maximum operating temperature derates by 1.5°C for every 1,000 ft above 7,400 ft, so a high-altitude site needs the airflow checked.
Part numbers are Fortinet catalogue SKUs listed for reference. Availability, term and lead time are confirmed at quote.
FortiGate 4800F-DC
The FortiGate 4800F for a 48-60 V DC plant - the same 3.1 Tbps and 800 Gbps of IPsec.
Eight 400 GE Slots and 3.1 Tbps of Firewall
The 4800F is the fastest rackmount firewall Fortinet builds: eight 400 GE QSFP-DD slots, 3.1 Tbps of firewall throughput and 1,396 million packets a second. Eight hundred Gbps of IPsec VPN is more than two and a half times what the 4400F does, which is the reason this platform exists.
Where It Differs From the 4400F
Raw throughput is roughly three times the 4400F, but inspected throughput is not - eighty-seven Gbps of IPS against ninety-four, and sixty-three Gbps of SSL inspection against eighty-six. The 4800F is built for volume and for terminating very large encrypted tunnels, not for deeper inspection; if inspection is the binding constraint, the 4400F is the better-matched box.
What the Hyperscale Licence Buys
LIC-FG48F-HYPSC is perpetual rather than a subscription. It moves hardware session setup, firewall session logging and NAT into the NP7, taking two hundred and eighty million concurrent sessions to one point eight billion and 915,000 new sessions a second to twenty-five million. This is the DC-input variant, for a rack fed from a 48-60 V plant rather than mains. No internal storage is fitted.
