The FortiAnalyzer 3510G ingests 5,000 GB of logs per day, sustaining 60,000 logs/sec in analytic mode and 90,000 logs/sec in collector mode, with 24x 4 TB HDD + 2x 3.84 TB SSD of storage.
5,000 GB/day, 60,000 logs/sec analytic, 24x 4 TB plus 2x 3.84 TB SSD. Between this and the 3750G the decision is almost entirely retention depth rather than ingest, if you can meet your log rate here and your obligation is measured in months rather than years, the 3510G is the cheaper correct answer.
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.
Between this and the 3750G the decision is retention depth rather than ingest. If you can meet your log rate here and your obligation is months rather than years, this is the cheaper correct answer. Work it explicitly: daily volume times retention days, plus overhead, against usable capacity after RAID. That number chooses the model.
What to order alongside the FortiAnalyzer 3510G
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.
| Bundle | What it adds | 1 yearlist price | 3 yearslist price | 5 yearslist price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise ProtectionENT | The broadest bundle. Everything in UTP, plus the services that cover data, SaaS posture and attack-surface visibility, plus inline zero-day malware prevention. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Unified Threat ProtectionUTP | The traditional mid-tier: perimeter defence covering network, file, web and email threats. Everything most sites actually switch on. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Advanced Threat ProtectionATP | The narrow bundle: IPS and the full malware stack including cloud sandboxing, without the web and email filtering layers. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
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.
FortiAnalyzer 3510G is number 6 of 7 in this family
Ranked on gb logs/day, the figure that separates these models. All values are Fortinet’s own and cited on each product page.
FortiAnalyzer 3100G
3K GB/day
67% less than the FortiAnalyzer 3510G. Worth it only if your measured requirement genuinely fits inside it.
FortiAnalyzer 3510G
5K GB/day
7 models in this family span 25 GB/day to 8K GB/day.
FortiAnalyzer 3750G
8K GB/day
66% more headroom. Worth costing if you expect growth inside the refresh cycle, replacing early is dearer than buying up once.

What this includes
Fortinet publishes no throughput table for this product; it is licensed per user, endpoint, workload or account. What follows is capability and sizing, not benchmarks.
Capacity
Analytic mode indexes for investigation and reporting; collector mode ingests faster but does not index. Large estates commonly run collectors at the edge feeding one analytic unit at the centre.
| GB logs/day | 5,000 |
|---|---|
| Analytic sustained rate (logs/sec) | 60,000 |
| Collector sustained rate (logs/sec) | 90,000 |
Hardware
| Total interfaces | 2x 10GE RJ45, 2x 25GE SFP28 |
|---|---|
| Storage capacity | 24x 4 TB HDD + 2x 3.84 TB SSD |
