60F replacement

Dear @kendafulp ,

To review EOS information , please refer to the following knowledge base article: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Customer-Service/Customer-Service-Tip-Product-Life-Cycle-Information-on-Fortinet/ta-p/194438

Note: If a product is not listed in this document, it means that no end-of-life (EOL) date hasn't been defined for that model yet.

If you determine that the 60F no longer meets your requirements, but you are hesitant to move to the G-series, you may consider other F-series FortiGate models that could better fit your needs. Keep in mind that selecting the right model should always be based on proper sizing. Accurate sizing helps optimize budget while ensuring improved performance and security.

Best regards.

Some facts:
- 60F's EOO/EOS is not determined yet.
- 60F's memory/RAM size is <2GB.
- FG-xxF-HA order options are currently for those smaller F series only.

Generally, once EOO date is determined, EOS date is 5 years later. Means 60F's EOS doesn't happen at least next 5 years or more. I think all other F series are in the same fate.
But my main concern would be its RAM size. Since you're NOT experiencing concerve mode, you're not using ISDB in your policies. But if you have a budget to buy one more piece of hardware, I would recommend at least 70F, which has almost doubled memory size, with -HA option. So that you can safely use more FW features including ISDB.
