Centralized management for up to 1,000 devices and VDOMs

- 2
The FortiManager 1000G manages up to 1,000 devices and VDOMs with a sustained log rate of 50 logs/sec and 2 GB/day of log throughput. Policy packages, provisioning templates, firmware rollout and a full change-approval workflow with revision history and rollback.
A thousand devices and VDOMs on 25GE interfaces. This is the model where FortiManager stops being a convenience and becomes the only practical way to operate the estate. Note the log rate stays at 50 logs/sec like the smaller units, FortiManager is a configuration platform, and if you are also expecting it to hold logs at scale you want FortiAnalyzer beside it rather than a bigger FortiManager.
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.
A thousand devices and VDOMs with 25GE interfaces. At this scale ADOM design matters more than the model, how you partition the estate administratively determines whether policy changes stay reviewable or become unmanageable. That is a design decision worth making before the appliance arrives, because restructuring ADOMs after policies are built is genuinely painful.
What to order alongside the FortiManager 1000G
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.
