Fortinet

FSM-3500G

Server 96 TB Rack (4U) × Intel® Xeon® Gold 5118, 128 GB DDR4-SDRAM

The Fortinet FSM-3500G is an all-in-one, rack-mountable security and event correlation appliance tailored for mid-to-large sized enterprises, MSSPs, and data centers. Equipped with dual Intel® Xeon® Gold 5118 processors (12 cores / 24 threads each) clocked at 2.3 GHz, a generous 128 GB DDR4-ECC RAM, and a massive 96 TB SAS storage array, this 4U powerhouse delivers high-throughput log collection, real-time analytics, and unified security monitoring. Ideal for security operations centers (SOCs) running FortiSIEM, it can handle up to 40 K events per second (EPS) when paired with Fortinet collectors, providing deep visibility into both IT and security events.

Features

The Fortinet FSM-3500G is designed as a robust, all-in-one FortiSIEM supervisor-and-worker server. At its core, the unit features dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, offering 24 physical cores and 48 logical threads in total×ensuring efficient multi-threaded processing for real-time correlation, asset discovery, UEBA, and threat managementBacked by 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory and a 96 TB hot-swappable SAS drive configuration (24×4 TB), it offers both capacity and resilience for sustained log retention and fast storage access .

Advanced Options

Network flexibility is achieved via built-in interfaces×2× 1 GbE RJ-45, 2×1 GbE SFP, and 2×25 GbE SFP28×along with four expansion slots for additional SFP/SFP28 ports . Ideal for deployments requiring segregation of management, logging, and event traffic, it ensures high-bandwidth ingestion without bottlenecks. The appliance handles up to 40 K EPS with collectors, ensuring scalable analytics and rapid threat detection
