FortiGate 3500F Series


Is your data center infrastructure ready to handle the explosive growth of traffic without compromising on security or speed? The Fortinet FortiGate 3500F Series is the industry’s first hyperscale firewall designed to protect massive traffic volumes with ultra-low latency. Engineered for high-velocity data centers and enterprise cores, the 3500F ensures that your security stays ahead of the curve while maintaining peak application performance.
At Nexus ITX, we bridge the gap between high-end security hardware and seamless business operations. Based in the heart of Dubai, our engineers specialize in architecting Fortinet solutions that are not just "installed" but fully optimized for the unique demands of the regional enterprise landscape.
The FortiGate 3500F Series—comprising the FG-3500F and FG-3501F—is a performance powerhouse built on Fortinet’s seventh-generation Network Processor (NP7) and Content Processor (CP9). This custom ASIC-driven architecture allows the 3500F to deliver a "Security Compute Rating" that is up to 14x faster than traditional software-based firewalls.

Investing in 100G-ready security requires a partner that understands the complexity of the data center. Here is why enterprise leaders choose Nexus ITX:
Q: What is the primary difference between the FG-3500F and FG-3501F?
A: The FortiGate 3501F includes dedicated onboard SSD storage for local logging, reporting, and caching. The 3500F is typically used in environments where logs are centralized via a management system like FortiAnalyzer.
Q: Does the 3500F series support 100G connectivity?
A: Yes. The 3500F series features high-density 100GE QSFP28 ports, making it perfectly suited for high-speed switch and data center core connectivity.
Q: Why is the NP7 processor so important for my network?
A: Standard CPUs can become a bottleneck at high speeds. Fortinet’s NP7 (Network Processor 7) is a custom chip designed to handle network and security tasks in hardware, providing much higher throughput and significantly lower latency.
Q: Can Nexus ITX help us manage our firewalls via FortiManager?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in deploying FortiManager for centralized, single-pane-of-glass management, allowing you to control your global security fabric from a single location.
Q: How fast can I get a quote or schedule a deployment?
A: Nexus ITX prides itself on rapid fulfillment. Contact our Dubai office today, and our team will provide a detailed proposal and deployment timeline tailored to your project.
