The FortiAnalyzer 150G ingests 25 GB of logs per day, sustaining 500 logs/sec in analytic mode and 750 logs/sec in collector mode, with 2x 2 TB of storage.

Is this the right model?

Where it fits, and where it stops fitting

Compare the whole range

25 GB of logs a day and 500 logs/sec analytic. Measure before you buy this: a single FortiGate with full UTM logging and SSL inspection enabled produces dramatically more than the same box doing plain firewalling, and the multiplier routinely surprises people. It suits a handful of branch firewalls with moderate logging, not a campus with inspection turned on everywhere.

Sizing this model

How to work out whether it fits

The arithmetic a datasheet leaves out. If any of it does not match your situation, that is worth a call rather than a guess.

Measure, do not estimate. A single FortiGate with full UTM logging and SSL inspection produces several times what the same box generates doing plain firewalling, and the multiplier is routinely 5-10x. Turn logging on as you intend to run it, measure a busy day, then size. At 25 GB/day this model suits a handful of branches with moderate logging, and very little else.

Support and subscriptions

What to order alongside the FortiAnalyzer 150G

The published threat protection figure for this model is measured with IPS, application control and malware protection all running. Those arrive as a FortiGuard subscription, so the bundle you choose decides whether the hardware can reach the number you sized it on. Every bundle already includes FortiCare Premium 24x7 support.

These are Fortinet list prices. You will not pay them.

Every quote we write is discounted from list, and how far below depends on quantity, term and whether we register the deal with Fortinet. Longer terms also price better per year, which is why three and five year bundles are usually the better buy on a device you intend to keep through a refresh cycle. Part numbers follow Fortinet’s standard bundled convention; not every model carries every combination, so we confirm the exact orderable SKU before anything is placed.

Ranked on gb logs/day, the figure that separates these models. All values are Fortinet’s own and cited on each product page.

One step down

Nothing below this

This is the smallest model in the family. If it is still more than you need, the honest answer is usually a different product line rather than a smaller box.

One step up

FortiAnalyzer 300G

100 GB/day

300% more headroom. Worth costing if you expect growth inside the refresh cycle, replacing early is dearer than buying up once.
