FortiWeb 3000F
10 Gbps of HTTP throughput with full WAF inspection

The FortiWeb 3000F delivers 10 Gbps of HTTP throughput, defending web applications and APIs against the OWASP Top 10, bot traffic, credential stuffing and API abuse, attacks that arrive as legitimate HTTPS and pass a network firewall untouched.
10 Gbps, and the first model with bypass on the 10GE fibre ports rather than only on copper, which is what makes it deployable inline in a fibre data centre without accepting a single point of failure. Ten 10GE SFP+ ports give it the density to front several application tiers at once. The 4000F is a large step beyond this in both throughput and optics; most estates that outgrow the 3000F are changing architecture, not just capacity.
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.
Ten gigabits with bypass on the fibre is a data-centre inline deployment, which makes the failure mode the design question rather than the throughput. Decide up front what should happen when the appliance dies: bypass keeps traffic flowing unprotected, which is right for availability-critical services and wrong for cardholder data. That choice is a policy decision with a compliance consequence, and it should be made and written down before the hardware is racked, not during the first incident.
What to order alongside the FortiWeb 3000F
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.
FortiWeb 3000F is number 6 of 7 in this family
Ranked on throughput, the figure that separates these models. All values are Fortinet’s own and cited on each product page.
FortiWeb 2000F
5 Gbps
100% less than the FortiWeb 3000F. Worth it only if your measured requirement genuinely fits inside it.
FortiWeb 3000F
10 Gbps
7 models in this family span 100 Mbps to 70 Gbps.
FortiWeb 4000F
70 Gbps
600% more headroom. Worth costing if you expect growth inside the refresh cycle, replacing early is dearer than buying up once.
