Fortinet FG-98D-POE-BDL-900-36 FortiGate 98D-POE 98-Ports

Product Description

The Fortinet FortiGate 98D-POE (FG-98D-POE-BDL-900-36) is a robust security appliance designed to deliver comprehensive threat protection and network security services for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and branch offices. It consolidates multiple security functions into a single, easy-to-manage device, reducing complexity and cost. Key features include a high-performance next-generation firewall (NGFW) that inspects traffic at wire speed, providing advanced threat prevention capabilities. Beyond its firewall capabilities, the FortiGate 98D-POE integrates a suite of security services such as Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to detect and block malicious network activity, application control to identify and manage specific applications, and VPN (IPsec and SSL) for secure site-to-site and remote user connectivity. It also offers web filtering to block access to inappropriate or malicious websites and antivirus scanning to protect against malware. A distinctive feature of this model is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) support on select ports. This allows the appliance to power connected devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for separate power adapters. The FG-98D-POE-BDL-900-36 is built on Fortinet's FortiASIC processors for accelerated performance, ensuring that security inspections do not become a bottleneck for network traffic.
