How to position right Fortigate model for 3000 network users?

Hi @DSL ,

 

This is a complex question and depends in many factors (your topology, environment, the scope of the use, etc).

You can check the FortiGate model's datasheet to see the values for each version and decide for yourself.

Another way is you need to contact your Sales Engineer. They can take in your request  Systems Engineer (SE) that covers your territory.

Thanks for replied. What values should i look under datasheet? Definitely there is no value stated on number of network users. Is there where to calculate Fortigate model corresponding to number of network users?

flat network. network users not in accessing any internal servers.

Basically setup is as follow: internet - leased line - NGFW - CONTROLLER - AAA - SW - AP. Objective is to provide internet service with secured & control manner.

As per my experience, just understand what is your traffic pattern. % of traffic between your LAN to LAN, LAN to DC/Other branches LAN,  LAN to internet traffic. Because you enable security policies accordingly. Based on that take the datasheet number and consider 50% of that value as a best performance number. The value in datasheet is a half duplex value..
