1x NP7 + 1x CP9 (SPU accelerated)
Overview
The FortiGate 1800F is a high-end next-generation firewall built on Fortinet's NP7 and CP9 security processors for line-rate inspection at the data-center core and internal segmentation boundaries. Nexus Compute specifies, configures, and tests each 1800F to your throughput and inspection profile, delivered with FortiCare warranty coverage through authorized Fortinet distribution.
Who This Solution Is For
Business Benefits
Line-rate threat inspection
NP7 and CP9 ASICs offload firewall, IPS, and SSL workloads so inspection scales without collapsing throughput.
Data-center segmentation
High-density 25GE and 40GE interfaces enforce internal segmentation between application tiers and trust zones.
Configured and validated
Each appliance arrives policy-staged and tested to your inspection profile rather than as a bare SKU.
Typical Business Use Cases
Data-center core NGFW
Internal east-west segmentation
High-volume SSL/TLS inspection
High-availability perimeter firewalling

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 1800F sized for data-center core duty?
Yes. With NP7/CP9 acceleration and 40GE/25GE interfaces it is designed for data-center core firewalling and high-speed internal segmentation rather than small-branch deployment.
Can it inspect encrypted traffic at scale?
The CP9 content processor offloads SSL/TLS inspection, sustaining roughly 12 Gbps of inspected HTTPS so encrypted sessions are examined without crippling throughput.
Do you deploy these in HA pairs?
Yes. Dedicated 10GE HA ports and dual power supplies support active-active or active-passive pairs; we configure and test the cluster before delivery.
