Compact desktop firewall for branch offices

The FortiGate 71F series delivers a Next-Generation Firewall and SD-WAN appliance in a fanless desktop chassis. It is aimed at enterprise branch locations and mid-sized businesses that need integrated threat protection and secure connectivity without rack infrastructure. The bundle includes FortiCare Premium support and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection for one year.

Fanless build with seven RJ45 ports

Silent operation comes from the fanless design, while the 128 GB internal SSD provides local log and configuration storage. Seven Gigabit RJ45 interfaces include two dedicated WAN ports, giving flexible uplink options for dual-ISP or failover scenarios. An external 12 V DC adapter powers the unit from 100–240 V AC mains with a typical draw of 17.2 W.

Throughput shaped by 1 GbE interfaces

Firewall throughput reaches 10 Gbps for 1518-byte packets and 6 Gbps for 64-byte packets, with latency of 2.54 µs and 9 Mpps packet rate. The 1 GbE ports cap real-world WAN and LAN speeds at 1 Gbps, so environments that need multi-gigabit inspection will require a platform with faster interfaces. Concurrent session capacity sits at 1.5 million TCP sessions.
