About the Fortinet FortiGate 3700F Series

The FortiGate 3700F Series—comprising the FG-3700F and FG-3701F—is a high-performance powerhouse built for the hyperscale era. It is driven by Fortinet’s seventh-generation Network Processor (NP7) and Content Processor (CP9), which offload security tasks from the main CPU to deliver "Security Compute Ratings" that far outperform traditional software-based firewalls.

Key Features & Capabilities:

  • Hyperscale Network Security: Delivers massive throughput—exceeding 500 Gbps—to handle the world’s most demanding data center traffic.
  • 400G and 100G Connectivity: Features high-density 400GE QSFP-DD and 100GE QSFP28 interfaces to support modern spine-and-leaf architectures.
  • NP7 Hardware Acceleration: Custom-built ASICs provide hardware-accelerated security for IPv4, IPv6, and multicast traffic with near-zero latency.
  • Deep SSL Inspection (TLS 1.3): Effortlessly decrypts and inspects encrypted traffic at scale, stopping hidden malware without impacting application performance.
  • Carrier-Grade Reliability: Engineered for mission-critical environments with redundant power supplies and high-availability clustering.
  • AI-Powered FortiGuard Labs: Real-time threat intelligence blocks zero-day attacks, ransomware, and known vulnerabilities instantly.

Use Cases

  • Hyperscale Data Center Core: Securing north-south and east-west traffic in massive cloud environments where high-density 100G/400G is the standard.
  • Ultra-Fast Internal Segmentation: Creating high-speed security zones within the data center to prevent the lateral movement of threats at wire speed.
  • Carrier-Grade 5G & ISP Security: Protecting mobile cores and high-speed internet backbones with massive session capacity and low latency.
  • Data Center Interconnect (DCI): Securing the high-speed links between distributed data centers with hardware-accelerated IPsec VPN.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between the FG-3700F and FG-3701F?

A: The FortiGate 3701F includes dedicated onboard SSD storage for local logging, reporting, and caching. The 3700F is typically used in environments where logs are centralized via a management system like FortiAnalyzer.

Q: Does the 3700F series support 400G interfaces?

A: Yes. The 3700F series features high-density 400GE QSFP-DD ports, allowing you to connect directly to the next generation of high-speed switches and data center cores.

Q: Why is the NP7 processor better than a standard CPU?

A: Standard CPUs can become overwhelmed by security tasks 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 lower latency.

Q: Can Nexus ITX help with managing these 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 one location.

Q: What are the lead times for these high-end units?

A: Nexus ITX prides itself on rapid fulfillment. Contact our Dubai office for current stock levels and a detailed deployment timeline tailored to your project.
