Get the sizing right

The four things that cost people the most money when buying Fortinet, written down properly.

1. How to size a FortiGate (and why the big number is the wrong one)

Firewall throughput is measured on UDP with every inspection engine switched off. Threat protection throughput is measured with firewall, IPS, application control and malware protection all running.

  • Start from threat protection throughput, not firewall throughput
  • Add SSL inspection separately; it is the figure that collapses first
  • Check concurrent sessions if your traffic is many small connections
  • Check the max-FortiSwitch and max-FortiAP limits before designing the LAN

2. FortiCare tiers: what you are actually buying

The tier decides two things during an outage: how fast someone answers, and how fast a replacement arrives.

  • Match the tier to what an hour of downtime actually costs
  • 'Next business day' runs from despatch qualification, not from when you notice
  • Multi-year terms price better and remove the annual scramble
  • A lapsed contract means no firmware updates, including security patches

3. FortiGuard bundles: UTP vs Enterprise vs ATP

A FortiGate with no FortiGuard subscription is a stateful firewall with a VPN.

  • Write down which features you will actually enable, then pick the bundle
  • SD-WAN features are licensed separately from threat inspection
  • Co-terminate FortiCare, FortiGuard and hardware onto one renewal date
  • Expired FortiGuard leaves the box passing traffic but not protecting it

4. Migrating off another firewall vendor

Automated policy conversion from ASA, SonicWall, Palo Alto or Check Point gets most of the way. The value is in the review.

  • Convert, then review — do not carry six years of unexamined rules across
  • Re-establish the rule set against what the business actually needs now

Questions people actually ask

_questions list

Are you an authorized Fortinet reseller?

Yes. DynaScale Technologies is an authorized Fortinet reseller. That matters for three practical reasons: your hardware carries a valid warranty, your FortiCare and FortiGuard entitlements register correctly against your serial numbers, and you are entitled to Fortinet TAC support. Grey-market hardware fails on all three, usually at the worst moment.

Why do you not show prices?

Because reseller pricing is negotiated per customer and per deal registration, any number we published would be wrong for most people who read it. Instead you get a real quote, usually the same working day, from an engineer who has looked at what you are actually deploying.

How do I know which FortiGate model I need?

Size on threat protection throughput, not firewall throughput. Firewall throughput is measured on UDP with every inspection engine switched off and can be ten times higher than what you will really see. Our sizing calculator does the arithmetic in front of you, and an engineer checks it before you order.

Can you deploy and manage it, not just ship it?

Yes. DynaScale runs a managed firewall practice from our own 24/7 US NOC, policy migration from ASA, SonicWall, Palo Alto or older FortiOS, staged cutover with a written rollback plan, then ongoing policy changes, firmware and FortiGuard hygiene if you want them.

What happens to my existing support contracts?

Send us your serial numbers and we will audit what is registered, what has expired and what is about to. That audit is free, and it regularly finds a device running on stale signatures that nobody had noticed. We then co-terminate everything onto one renewal date.
